I had mine out the back when I first got it. stock headers, cat, no muffler with Magnaflow tips. I have another video but can't access you tube at work. look under wermbang there.





I now have it cut off just behind the cab so that I can curve it out to just in front of the rear tire. it will exit like so

It sounded pretty good, what size tubing to what size tips? I was thinking about glasspacks but I want it to sound good and I know some glasspack setups are funky sounding

Just remember too large of pipe & the less restriction you will notice a loss of low end torque. I was blown away when I had a very low restricted muffler on my 97 S-10 Blazer 4x4 at the loss of low end torque. I would of never believed it until I did it.
