Dumping it looks better almost always. Another option to keep the exhaust hidden but stay away from the drone of dumped exhaust would be to keep it over the rear axle but cut the tips off so they are hidden....... they would still be shooting out the rear of the truck......so it doesnt resonate.

You will regret dumping it within the month. It's fun for the first few weeks and when the nostalgia wears off you'll regret it! At least with the cut-outs you can bring it back to normal when your tired of the drone and the reverberations. Also you can hide your exhaust if you want to hide the look.

after reading this thread im changing my mind about dumping it. I was going to get the lts and ory into a single 3" with 30" magnaflow and 18" bullet and dump it before the rear axle so there are no crimps.. but i dont want any drone so...
