Where you route the pipes will depend on what look you want. It really doesnt matter, expect running them out in front of the rear wheels will be easier than going over the axle. IMO, I have always liked the look of 2 big tips out back.

2.25-2.5" pipe, mufflers depend on what sound you want. Magnaflow, Borla, Flowmaster, glasspacks, etc. are all ok. I am a Magnaflow fan because they are mellow sounding, and not excessively loud and annoying. I would definately have an X or H pipe right after the manifolds or headers. They mellow the sound a lot and usually give a decent boost in torque.

What kind of sound and volume are you after?
