Either way is fine...running them out the back will cut down on interior vibrations and some noise.

If you run them out the back, your interior noise level and vibrations will go down, but keep in mind that routing true duals over the axle on an F-body is usually pretty pricey. So I guess you need to decide if the extra cash is worth it to you. Personally, i'd recommend going over the axle, it looks better that way, and the decreased noise level would be worth it to me IMO.

Out the back. I had that 3" setup dumped, and it almost drove me nuts cruising down the highway. Rattled everything. Loud as hell too.

I'll agree with everyone Keeping out back helps keep them quiet and I think looks better. Worth the extra money

the borla tips look the best in my mind. they are expensive though. anything that will look like quad tips looks great on f-bodys.
