Getting ready to put together my duals and wanted to see if anyone has run the turndowns straight down or turned out a little bit or both? If both, what was your experience with the noise level. Did it go down any? I am not going to mind the noise either way, but the PoPo might.

Straight down. You don't want to further the risk of soaking the tires in coolant if you lose a head gasket or something. I have a single bullet with the dump pointed down and it's not bad. It's going drone regardless, if you want it quiet then run a set up with tail pipes.

I've always found that using a turn-down amplifies the exhaust sound. It's pointing directly at the pavement and the sound is reflecting directly off of it.

JMHO, of course.

i'll have to agree..

heck, actually i thought turndowns were a thing of the past, are for me anyways i'm getting old i guess.. when i get the money i'm going madrel bent full length exhaust, turndowns at the rear bumper cover.

I've read and seen that turndowns that are placed on an angle instead of pointing directly at the ground effect the flow and obviously the sound. Every car I know that runs duals, always has the turndown facing on a 45 degree angle.

Interesting...do you recall where you read or saw that?

Yeah, my turn downs have a very small angle, barely 45*. Car sounds awesome though.

sound is directional. I believe if you turn both down then the sides will blend together and sound better. If you angle them, the two sounds dont blend as well and you hear more of a "half" engine when standing by the side of the car.

I had TD's with and without turn downs. Without I got horrible reverberation from the trunk area and with turn downs pointed out at around 45* it wasn't as bad.
