First time I had mine done, I had them run the pipes out a 90 degrees behind the rear tires. Regular mufflers. It was really quiet. First set of railroad tracks caused the rear axle to bounce up and knock the pipes loose. Then I just had them cut the pipes and dump them ahead of the axle. Haven't had a problem yet. I did put headers on it with the same set up. Not as quiet as with the long pipes. Sounds good with the secondaries engaged.

I'm one who enjoys the sound of the engine running right over and beyond the sound of a loud exhaust.
