You need 4 exit pipes on each side to do it right..

Here I found this futuristic pic of you

I seriously considered those side exit tips pictured above with mine. Behind the wheel on the passenger side only. Stylin Trucks sell them.

no offence to anyone, but that side exhaust looks rice and it must be a bitch to keep the side of the truck and wheels clean.

here is what mine looks like -

Unless the truck will sit super low, I don't think it would look good.. Plus you will have soot on the side where the tip is.. Again if it is on the ground it would look good...

Exhaust exit through the body looks tacky on a truck IMO. It will look like stick-on crap that you can buy at your local parts store. Exhaust exit through the body looks OK on some cars (if done correctly) but it will NEVER look good on a truck.

Lawson4450 just posted some pictures of his truck in the show and shine section. I know I stated before that I didn't like the side exhaust but I think his looks good. I think I'm just not a fan of the bezel that people usually have around the exhaust. His doesn't have it.

Not a big fan of any of those pics. Why not notch the bottom of the bed and have the exhaust exit flush with the bottom. Even better why not make your own oval tips and then notch the bed and have the exhaust exit flush with the bottom? Magnaflow sells a tip for a Camaro http://www.magnaflow.com/02product/s...e=main&id=8297 that would look good if you kept it in the same line or flush as the bed.

Not a big fan of that set up on a truck, I like a conventional set up that's dumped before the axle. But it is cool to be different, so if you like it, go for it
