    I think they sound best turned down at the rearend.I think they look best run straight out like Dans or tucked up and turned down at the valence.Exhaust turned out in front of the wheels looks kinda mad max-ish and doesn't sound as good as out the back IMO.

    Thanks, they weren't sure if they could get the cutouts and the "x" pipe in there at first but made it all work! The headers are Hedmans, I like them because of them ball and socket collector, no gaskets needed. They also fit a lot better then the ones I took off, I don't know what brand those were.

    The sound is totally different than the flowmasters I took off. It sounds better to me, only thing that I don't like is that it is quieter than the flowmasters. My wifes she could hear me coming when I turned onto the street before, now she doesn't hear me till I get in the driveway. At least now I have the cutouts so when I want to be loud, I can. I'll see if I can get a video on here tomorrow.
