You do need to have the exhaust exit out the sides behind the rear tires on these as others mentioned above. Make sure that the tip of the pipe gets out in the air stream too.

Just as the air flow sucks dirt, muck and road debris onto the tailgate and back window it can suck the exhaust right back up into the rig through leaking or missing gaskets.

The local muffler shops as a group won't install tailpipes going straight out the back of pickups with camper shells or any style of suv. Even if you don't run a shell on a pickup you have to request pipes straight out the back with the understanding you do not intend to run a shell.
