Small change, big difference

[Stu Pidd]

Who knew moving the exhaust tips would do so much?

Exhaust exited out the side, right behind the rear wheels. that created two issues:

-Every time I pull into the garage, during the last two feet all the exhaust is blowing inside, making the whole garage stinky.
-When I pull up to get a cup of coffee at a local drive-through, the exhaust echoes between the brick wall and bed of the truck. Too loud.

I don't want the exhaust straight out the back, as I tow a trailer occasionally.
The solution: Moved the tips out to the corners, under the bumper, angled out slightly, with a 45 degree downturn. Truck still has the same V8 loping idle, but after spraying the exhaust with high-heat rattle can of flat black paint, it is pretty much invisible.

Start the truck, and the exhaust is already blowing outside the garage. Couldn't be happier.
