Magnaflow muffler SI/DO turnouts or duals?

My search fu is weak didnt find any related threads to answer my question. I just picked up a used magnaflow 22 inch muffler SI/DO in good condition. When I get it put on Im tryin to decide if I want turn downs straight off the muffler or if I want to run the duals to come out in front of the passenger real tire. Any suggestions? These are the two ideas Ive narrowed it down to but open to others.

Looks like your set on one of those two methods.....and really its a preference thing if your not concerned with db levels in the cab. Dumped will be louder in there, some like it. For myself I'm partial to shotgunning em' out the rear. I like that look and keeps the tips from being peppered with road crud.

Magnaflow's only sound good on V8's. It will sound pretty ricer on your truck. Only chambered mufflers sound even remotely acceptable on V6's, or leave it stock.

Well Im lookin for something quieter than what it currently has(not a stock setup). Maybe I will run it out to the side then. Right now it sounds horrible if you ask me so anything would be an improvement. Not set on a dual setup but Im gettin a ridiculous deal on the muffler and its SIDO. Im pretty sure its got a glasspack on it right now. ugh

My other question would be how can I use this muffler to get the best torque/power back out of my already effed up exhaust?

put it out the side before the rear tire for the best sound.

Here it is guys. I really like how quiet it is but it still sounds good especially for a V6.
