    if your guy can do it, 45 them out the back, and tuck them as close to the tires as you can. so you'll end up with them 45'd out the back, and from the back they'll look kinda like / \

    with mine, and 7" of lift, i'm going to dump it just past the rear axle with a 3 1/2" slash cut tip at just enough angle so you can JUST see it under the frame.

    Dump them behind the rear axle, it makes it a little more throaty and also cleans the back of your truck up a little bit.

    increases interior resonance, and just generally sounds like crap on anything taller than a stock 2wd.

    I agree here, This is a slick looking setup if you can find a shop that can do it correctly.

    56" rear springs have been a problem with this setup before, with 63s, forget about it. ends up sitting too far back, and looking goofy.

    87 gmc jimmy full size has left side single @45 and newer 2 doors have right side @45.buy both and have a shop mount 'em save money on custom work and if you buy in walker,they are mandrel bent.good for a cheapo high flow exhaust.both are 2 3/4 pipes.

    I prefer the look of slash cut 45's out the side.
    03 ECSB, HP Tuners, built 4l60e, 40 Series-custom SS plumbing-duals out both sides after the cab, Linex, Truexo Deuce, Clarion MAX 675 VDII and alot of PSSSSSS.....CHHHH.

    Getting low soon.
