Gen 2 exit or move them back?

I want a bigger muffler under there, cant fit crap with 2 cats and Gen 2 exit. So was thinking of pushing them back i think it looks cool, what do you guys think.

personally, I actually like it better behind the wheel. It's definitely more plumbing to deal with but I think it looks good.

i agree with skyfox.. i think it looks better exiting behind the tire... plus you can fit your bigger muffler easily too

The Extreme muffler in right under the passenger seat, i think if i move it more backward that might help with the drone, Yea i don't see many Gen 1 guys with slant tips behind the wheel !

I had mine like that on both trucks before and I liked it but I could never keep my tips clean. Tires were always slinging crap onto them.

This is true. Back in my younger days, I experienced one of those face palm moments when I realized what my excessive burnouts had done to the polished stainless tips I had recently put on. Needless to say, I learn my lesson pretty quick.

I'd like to think I matured since then.

I agree with the tips behind the rear tire. I dont like my BASSANI exhaust dumping out in front of the rear tire

Well after the weekend and at a carshow on saturday and ty revving the engine, i am going to keep the Gen 1 set up, i love the sound of the extreme, i do want to raise up the tips another inch. maby i'll change my mind my next go around. I also want to add padding there is no padding under the carpet when i installed it.

I think its time for a new video sound clip
