Turndowns?

Guys running duals.....I have been running duals dumped for years now and I have been hearing/reading that turning the turndowns toward each other cancels out some of the sound/loudness/drone. Does anyone have first hand experience of this?

I've always heard that turning them away from each other (towards the sides) makes them tone down a bit.

I've heard the same thing but have never tried it. I've always pointed mine a little towards the outside of the car, and that seems to help a little bit.

i tried it both ways. Turning them out towards the side with a little downward angle was the best. With that i got no interior rattle and little resonance. When i had them turned down it freakin felt like i had open headers.
