Undertail with low or high mounts?

So I just ordered one of these undertails, tell me if you think it would look better with low mount or high mount pipes.

I've got one that's very similar and personally I like the high mounts. I think it just gives the bike cleaner lines but it's all about your own tastes.
Middle picture is low mount, I have a picture somewhere of low mount pipes with high mout hangers as well, I'll try to find it.

IMHO, I find the low mount pipes with high (or mid) mount brackets (see pic below for example) look the best. I will be mounting my Microns this way this year (and using spacers to keep my passenger pegs).

Not to offend anyone but I personally do not like the way most high-mount pipes wrap around the swingarm. I have seen a few cases of high-mounts that seem to deal with this in an aesthetically pleasing manner but I forget the brands.

Either way, do whatever YOU like the best.

cheers

Personally, I think the low mount looks better - it doesn't block the clear view of the tail.

personally id have low mounts everytime. i dont see the point in these high mounts or underseat exhausts. the whole point of a motorbike is that it should have a big fat pipe hanging off each side of it

Had TBR low mounts & switched to TBR high mounts. (just connector pipes & mounting bracket change)

The low mounts restrict access to the rear brake, make cleaning the chain & rear sprocket more difficult & removing the rear wheel is harder.
With low mounts the cans and connector pipes scrape sooner than the hi mounts in the turns cause they stick out on the sides farther.

The high mounts do cramp your foot area more than low mounts but I have gotten used to it.
If you ride on the balls of your feet it's not a problem. If you ride flat footed they get in the way
High mounts make the bike look thinner from the front and rear (wish I looked thinner too!)

I think hi mounts look better

Thanks for all the replies, I am still in deliberation as to which I think will look better. I almost think that the high mounts would hide too much of the undertail, but I haven't decided yet. . .

Here's the low/high mount pic.
