Default Exhaust in front of rear tire

I'm sorry guys, i know its another exhaust thread.....I'm just looking for ideas

Well inspection time is here and my truck will not pass with a dumped muffler. I was thinking sice everyone and there mother has duals out the back, that i would go with a single exit in front of the passenger tire. Now i DO NOT want the super Truck that Gibson offers, i dont like the look of the square tips.

I was going to make it myself, i'm taking the old flowmaster 40 series off and i wanna use a Super 44....I'm actually asking to see if anyone had any pics of some tip ideas.

I actually like the look of this one but its not a flowmaster, but atleast you can get the idea

Thanks in advance

That's exactly what I'll be doing with mine as soon as my Aero Turbine gets here in the mail. I'm not sure what kind of tip I'll be using yet though. By the way, mail sucks. It's been three and a half weeks, and I'm starting to get edgy haha.

Whats up Ed,
I did the exhaust in front of the wheel. Here in TX, as long as its 4 inches past back of cab, you'll be fine... not sure where you are. I attached (hopefully) a picture of my exhaust. Went for the dual side exit. I think it looks nice.... Its flowmaster 40. A little louder than I wanted... I get some drone in the cab especially around 2300 rpms. Nice... VERY NICE sound outside though.... Your call

Hope that helps,
Tex

Not a kit. I got the muffler at Pep Boys... $80... Then a place called Xpress Automotive Service on 59 here in Houston installed and gave me the tips for $220. They do all the bending and welding there in the shop while I watched. Great group of guys if anyone in Houston ever needs exhaust work.
