the pipe coming from the header/manifold needs to bend with the highest radius possible. once it is parallel to the frame--go straight back all the way to the bumper. get a turndown and put it on the end of each pipe. listen to it. if it rattles your heart (good resonance) at idle then leave it there...if not cut off about 8 or 10 inches. put the turndown on and do it again. once you get that heart rattle at idle, weld the turndowns on and wake the neighbors.

Nine inch tips would look totally gay on anything that's not a cummins with a twin turbo that already has a 7" pipe on it.
