before the axle turn downs

Dumps can be beneficial. They do clear leaves from your driveway in the fall, just angle them outwards a little. Always get a chuckle when I roll down the drive. And on some setups having pipes sticking out from the sides or rear detract from the overall look and are just excess baggage.

I have my dumps turned sideways, since I have minimal ground clearance there, they are way too loud outside of the car, they just blast the noise right at people. I'm going to angle them down as much as I can to try to an calm them down a little.
