My new exhaust

Got my Magnaflow catback system done a couple of weeks ago. After a thousand miles or so it sounds great. I went with the 14" si/do magnaflow muffler and went with 4x18 rolled edge magnaflow tips. I love everything about it besides the drivers side pipe makes the tip point up in the air. I'm going to take it back in soon after I get some free time and have them straighten it out.

i think it is mostly the angle they just stick out far enough from the bumper where you can read magnaflow. Yes I've been working on the sound vid. Not the best looking I must admit but at least when I'm driving I hear it and not see it. lol

Well, I have to state some constructive criticism.. those tips are much too big looking for your generation truck, 3.5" would look better, and definitely have them mounted level with the bumper, not sticking out like.... i'm not going to post that joke but they stick out far. Otherwise good choice in brand parts.

It appears to be half way between rear exit and exiting behind the rear tires. Do you have any side picts?

I bet it sounds nice... just have the shop bend it to a 45" angle if possible?

I bet it does sound nice. However..... whoever done the bending did a really crappy job and I would make them fix it. I would make them exit closer to each rear tire and angle them out the sides more. Ask them to hide most of the pipes this time too. Very nice parts just not a very nice install. The good thing is that it can be fixed!
