Don’t like the current set up it’s true duals with no cats and no x or h pipe and flow master mufflers I think.

Don’t like the look was wondering if there would be any issues or advantages to dumps by the axle? Or new tips out the back or getting it bent to exit behind the rear wheels?

Cut them back & exit like stock. But where are they hung from? Like the MCSS near the bumper or hear the spring pockets like stock. FYI 442 duals & the '78-'80 dual tail pipe muffler hung from that area.

I’m not sure and what was the stock exit behind the rear wheel?

What are the disadvantages to dumps by the axle I heard that sounds better?

Stock is over the axle and comes out behind the rear tire under the quarter panel, I personally don't like rear exits exhaust at all not even on Montes.

If you're talking about dumps under the car in front of the rear axle yes it will be louder it will also most likely drone like crazy and in most places it's not legal on a street car due to exhaust gasses being able to get inside the car. If you're talking about dumps out the side in front of the rear axle that too may sound louder due to it being closer to your ears but also looks cheap and will require you to grow a mullet, jack up the rear about 6 inches put reverse offset cragars with bald off brand white letter tires on the back and start dating your sister or first cousin.
Best bet is the stock exit under the quarter behind the rear tire.

Lol I’ve always wanted a mullet or a Mohawk may have to make that a life goal and call myself joe dirt.

I assume it’s not gonna be cheap to have someone relocate the tail pipes and it would be cheaper and easier to just slap on some tips I can stand the sight of?

My duals come out parallel to the rear tires. Nice and clean
