Default Help with side exit exhaust

Hey guys, I have been wanting to put a new exhaust system on my 2000 dakota. I am going to buy a thrush chambered muffler but I'm not sure what type of exhaust bend I need. I wanted to have it come out in front of the rear tire on a 45 degree angle. I would also buy a tip eventually. Thanks!

I would have the bend it up and over the frame rail then down to the front of the tire. There's a few setups I've seen that do this.

Hard to go over the frame rail without a body lift...With a 3" lift mines still pretty tight and pointing downward pretty hard. I did mine as a cheap quick fix one day

Headers, muffler and short pipe.
Awesome sounds.
Going over the frame? Be too tight on my truck. Fuel tank and all that I'd want to stay away from.

Here's a picture of mine over the frame passenger side. Pretty tight with a 3" body lift
