    You can change a Flowmaster system over to rear exit pretty easily. Just pull off the last elbow on each side. What's left matches up almost perfectly to a 2 1/2" x 18" extension that most auto parts stores keep in stock. You just need to fab up some rear brackets.

    got mine going out the rear so thats my vote. its kind of an uncommon setup for our trucks so i decided to be different with it. i like it alot, gives it a beefy look IMO

    I did it again. Got tired of paying truck payments and gas and traded in for a 2015 Honda Accord Sport since I enjoyed my 2013 Sport so much.
    Function-wise, I would do sides as I hear that rear exits could catch on the ground when off roading.

    I got the exits out the back also, putting them to the sides looks ackward to me. Can provide pics if needed.

    I thought I was convinced on single side exit, but after a few pictures I really like the dual side exit!

    So after reading (and listening) to the posts here. Did y'all buy a kit ready made for TACO's or did you piece them together. What is approx. cost of upgrading exhaust to Flow 40 series?

    I had single in dual out Series 40 on a ranger and it sounded like a V-8.
