Thumbs up what to do what to do???

Ok so i went the exhaust shop that is giving me to best deal for magnaflow true dual 14 inch body exhaust and they are on order and will be in next week so i have to make a choice before then on if i want straight out the back or the tips at a 45% angle. so all of you put in your info and show pics of them so you can help me make a decision on which to do i am in the middle between both so i don't really care so don't say its up to me because i don't know what to do. so put in your input of what you think and what do you think would look better on my truck? (pics of my truck in album) so please help and i am kinda leaning towards the 45 on how the guy showed me with the tips today he kinda tucked them a little. and the tips are 3.5 inch rolled chrome tips.

Personally I like 4" x 18" rolled stainless tips straight out the back.

It's really just a personnel preference. Looks at some pictures and decide what floats your boat.

I think you could pull it off either way but like I said my preference is straight out the back. Whatever you do I would invest in stainless tips. Chromed tips don't last very long and rust on the inside very quickly.

Check out Darrens tips, he has 4" x 18" rolled tips 45ed and I think they look awesome. Also with tips at a 45 it will be louder inside.

I think strait out the back looks best, but if you pull a camper or another trailer with a flat front on it, it will put all the sound in the cab while towing that trailer.

I won't be pulling a camper or anything so I am good about that. The only thing that I really pull is a boat. Please keep the pictures coming I still don't know what to do. I asked the guy at the exhaust shop and he said he would do straight out the back because it lasts much longer. Thanks to all that have posted but keep the pics coming!

go with the 45's. they look better, and if you ever drive across a ditch with a steep grade, and drag across the bumper you wont have to worry about smashing the tips.
