Exhaust exit poll - straight out the back or behind the rear tires?
Which do you prefer and why?

Over the axle, because the drone is obnoxious when the exhaust exits under the car.

Oh, I see. Yes, over the axle, but I like it behind the tires. Straight out the back looks a little hillbilly to me. It "tucks" better that way.

Behind the rear wheels. Out the back looks redneck.... of course, some people want it to look redneck...

depends. mine goes out the back on my SS, but they are tucked up real close, and can barely see them. they curve down at the tip.
I agree with the others though, I don't like it straight out below the bumper.

What I truly like is called tuck and dump!
They turn down and dump right at the rear bumper, and face the ground at a angle.
You can't see the pipes until the very end.
Takes a good muffler man to do this.
Mine dump behind the rear wheel, 3 inch pipe is not going all the way to the back, does cause some unwanted sound!

Mine will be behind the tire. Currently dumped at the axle. I like Al's tuck and dump too, but it is tricky past the rear wheel well on third gens.

Straight out back does not look good on a gen 3.
