Not really a Rear mount, and Deff not a front mount.
I think i have about the same amount of piping as a front/top mount. My Snail sits right by the tailshaft of the tranny.

If it works then it works then there is no reason to change it, but the best placement would be to place the gate right at the 90* bend that goes towards the passenger side with the gate facing towards the back of the vehicle. Placing the wastegate in direct flow of the exhaust will make it work better.
Elementary quality example:

I took the easy way and modded a premade merge- basically just cutting it down for space issues.
used this one from columbia river

here is what it looks like in a 71 nova. I am pleased
