I myself am not 100% sure why the techs turn them in, but a couple things come to mind.

blowing a head gasket and it keeping it out from under the tires by pointing towards the center

less noise being it is more contained under the car by being turned in

less dirt be blown up onto the outside of the car being turned in

I thought about all those things and thats why Im going to keep it like that for a while b4 I change it. When I first got it the drone was pretty bad at certain speeds on the way home, but then tone has seemed to change and now sounds better at idle and giving a few revs. I wonder if the computer was adjusting itself for better AF ratio?

I have the Bullets angled out and it stills drones pretty bad. The shop that did mine angled them out for that purpose so it should help.

yup, I was going to say this. It makes sense to me, that if the pipes start shooting out oil, it would be easier to keep the oil spill in between the tires and not under them.

Safer.
