Default Opinions on new Exhaust tip location.

I am redoing the tailpipe on my truck because my old one was hitting the rear end. I am doing dual tips out the back kinda like my old single setup. So what do you think about this location?

Keep in mind that tip is not 100% cenetered on the pipe, this is just for mockup. Also the tip is covered with tape so it doesn't get scratched up. The other side will look exactly like the drivers side.

I think moving it back about 3 inches would look better

To low and to far forward. If I ever run my tips over the axle again, they will be dumped right in the corner of the bedside and rollpan. Might see 1/4" to 1/2" of the tip hanging down but thats it.

You gotta remember my truck is lowered and those pics were taken with me kneeling down on the ground, they only stick down about 1 inch.

I would move them back closer to the rollpan, and also angle them a bit, maybe the same angle you have on the back shot, just do that on the side as well

i liked your single tailpipe alot, IMO dual pipes out the back is a little too redneck for me

Ya, me too, but i have always wanted my tips like this...

So i moved them back as far as i could, any further and it would hit on the piece that holds the shackle. I am trying to tuck the pipes up so you never see them... Here are some progress pics, i am done for today it is just toooo damn hot.. If you can't tell exhaust is one of my favorite things to do, This will make about the 7th time i have changed my exhaust on my truck.
