5inch exhuast b4 the tire or after???

Just wondering if any one else has run their exhaust out before the rear tire? If so is it really loud? and all I want out of the deal is to really hear that little turbo dont want a whole lot of engine drone! ?Just a thought ill probably run it out in the back but just curious, maybe someone has pics of one like this..... Its a rclb so it may sound the same either way.

im swapping my 4in with a muff for 5in straight

I think the exhaust is going to get in the way of full 6in rear springs when i get my springs if its behind the tire, the spring hits my 4in pipe and its the stock spring with 6 in blocks...

Thats the way i have it on mine wright now, before the tire. I love the way it sounds but the drone on the freeway is getting old. If was to do it again i would go all the way back. I was thinkin of getting a resonator for mine and extend it to the back.

I ordered my 4" over the axle piece from a place here in Oregon that makes exhaust, they aren't a sponsor so I don't think I can name drop em. But someone else may sell you just the tailpipe section.
