Default Which exhaust tailpipe setup looks best on the 2nd Gen Opinions of Course

I have my 1996 2nd Gen, new motor, new paint, and now switching from loud Flowmaster 40 to a toned down Magnaflow dual outlet. I now have two stainless tailpipes exiting the back below factory bumper. I like this look, BUT when trailering a boat or furniture, etc., sut gets blown all over whatever is on the trailer.

I just want to get opinions on what folks here think is the best looking setup with the Ram 2nd Gen. I can deal with the sut problem if we agree the exit out the back setup is the best route to go for duals.

I'll put a couple of pics here and let's try to see what we think looks the best in your opinion, as well is what is quiet and modest, since I'm no longer into the wake the neighbors up coming in late at night thing!

In your situation i would have them exit at 45* at the corner of the bumpers.

I like my single stock location... no reason you couldn't mirror this on the other side for dual exhaust.

I think something is wrong with your new gas motor if it's blowing soot. I have my exhaust 45'd out the sides with mitre cut 3.5" tips

Thanks for the suggestions! Yes I have a strait exhaust an the cat is gone somehow or another, so the exhaust does blow soot ( thanks for correction on spelling ^). I have two new 3.5 stainless tips. I am leaning now towards the side locations mentioned above.

Thanks

Its not a diesel. It should never blow soot, even without a cat. Youre probably running way too rich.
