Whatever you like best.

Personally I like straight out the back and sometimes infront of the wheels-one tip on each side. Im not much for any type of angled tips after the wheels.

Here is a pic of mine straight out the back (sorry about the cr@ppy pics)





I have heard that if you go out the side before the wheels your wheels/paint will turn yellowish from the exhaust. Not sure uf its true or not, might want to ask some Lightning guys about it though if it makes a difference for you.

Good luck

I have that muffler and turned the pipes out in front of the passenger wheel with 3" angled tips. I love it.

Yeah, dual 3-3 1/2" stainless tips out the side infront of the wheel would look sweet.

I don't have any pics, but when they were finished everyone at the shop said that they looked cool.

I have seen no evidence of any problems from that exit location.

That is correct. The angle faces forward. The short part of the back pipe is even with the long part of the front pipe. I hope that makes sense.

The information I posted was off the Flowmaster website. They do make that muffler in a 2.5" in and out though.

ill go w.the 2.5" in and 2.5" out, but it's not going to matter if the inlet is center or offset, right?
