Exhaust Pros/Cons for Slant 6

Get ready for things to go off track, whenever anyone mentions UTG, it turns into a hate thread rather than a help thread...
As for your exhaust, as with anything else, it all has to be balanced. Assuming you're going with a 225, that translates to roughly a 3.6L (close enough) engine which isn't very big at all. And considering you're likely going to be driving it and not trailering it to the track, you probably won't be living close to redline all the time with your car. My guess is that a single 2.5" inch exhaust coming out of a quality header (either 6-1 or 3-2-1) will be both plenty for now and ready for any future (reasonable) upgrades. And even then, some might say that's too big...
Now if you plan on only building a track car or using forced induction then ignore me and go bigger.
No track/racing with this car. I do want it to have some punch off stop lights and able to pass when necessary, but all-in-all, we are aiming the build as an eye-catching, unique, and sporty restomod cruiser that will be driven. Visually, the aftermarket rear valance has openings for dual exhaust. So wonder if I could go with a 3-2-1 through the muffler, then split it into a small dual exhausts out the back with larger chrome exhaust tips? Or, just dual exhaust all the way back in smaller exhaust pipes with wider chrome tips?
