Here is the HKS Hiper on an EK hatch - it routes the same on an EG hatch too:

Basically the "race" canister exhausts from HKS/Apex-i route this way. Tanabe Racing Medallion goes over the arm, but the muffler/canister doesn't sit at the same crazy angle either.

Personally, and maybe because I'm getting old, I like the quieter oval exhausts these days. I'd look into the Apex-i WS Noir - it's a very low key matte black system that looks hella pimp IMO.

If my EG was my DD I'd ditch the Tanabe Racing Medallion (due to noise) and get the Apex-i WS Noir, but since it's not my DD I'll keep enjoying the VTEC scream at 8500rpm from the straight through canister.
