Which Aftermarket Exhausts fit Factory Ground FX?

Looking for a SS 3" cat back exhaust kit that will fit with the factory ground fx. Ironically, the factory exhaust doesn't seem to fit it well, as the tips don't sit properly in the square flange. Are aftermarket exhaust systems for this application different than standard?

I wouldn't mind having the tips sit further out (beyond the dimpled area created for the tips to sit in), if it would all lign up. I guess it all depends on where the square exhaust cut outs sit compared to the cutouts on the standard bumper cover, as well as how big of a tip can fit in the square opening (looks like close to 4" to me).

Stainless Works makes 3 inch systems for the SS equipped with factory ground effects. You can choose from the Retro Chambered cat back or S-Tube. The videos below are obviously not cars with the ground effects but this give you and idea of what they sound like. The ground effects systems utilize quad tips.

If an axle back solution works for you, SLP Loudmouth II is available in a square tip for the factory GFX.
