Default Side exit exhaust question

Thinking of moving my dual exhaust from behind the rear tire to in front of the rear tire.. Anybody do this and notice a huge increase inside the cab? Thanks, Dave.

Mine is in front of the passenger tire. Long tube headers, no cats, and race tech muffler it's fairly loud. I did block off the passenger side rear vent and it quieted down a lot.

Cool! I was just thinking about how much easier/cheaper/lighter it would be to not go up over the axle. I have 1 7/8 ARH headers with the baby cats and I'm going with an X pipe with dual dynomax ultraflows in 3 inch. I will use the truck for towing my bass boat and we do occasionally take some long distance fishing trips so I don't want it to be too uncomfortable in the cab.

I was running my exhaust out the side in front of the tire, I liked the tone and the interior noise wasn't bad at all for being right there on my RCSB. When I swapped the factory manifolds out for some long tubes and Cattless Y pipe the flowmatster 40 got nasty loud and did not like it much after that. mega drone but 75% of that came from the 40 series. Loved the look of it but I cut the tail pipes off couple weeks ago from exhaust leak on one of the tail pipes,

Good while it lasted I guess hahah

I have a similar setup. LT with baby cats an a 2 in 2 out muffler an have it ran out in front of my rear passenger tire. It is loud you will need a better radio ha ha. But it sounds great to me. An anyone with there windows down in the left lane. It will depend on how you exit the tips. Point them straight out an it will be a little quieter inside the cab.
