Exhaust Question

Exhaust Question
does anyone have a single exhaust out the rear?? i see dual's out the rear all over the place.. but does anyone have a single out the rear?
i have a single exiting in the stock location.. but wanted to cut off the 90 degree turn and add a straight, longer exhaust tip to hopefully get a better sound. i don't have the money right now for duals, so getting another catback is out of the question.
as it sits right now... i have a dynomax catback system single pipe exiting in the stock location.. i took of the dynomax muffler that came with the kit and put on a flow master 40 series on there... it was an improvement on sound... but now im looking to add a little more sound by adding a longer exhaust tip and having it go straight out the rear.
anyone got any ideas if you think a single out the rear won't look right?? my tip on there now is only like 6 inches long.... i wanted to go a bit longer

im only thinking about it now becuase i just saw a roll pan on ebay with a single cut out for one tailpipe... so i figured i'd ask if anyone has a single out the rear already

ive seen single exhaust exiting out the back on a ranger before. theres actually a couple people in my area with that. it looks alright, but honestly it looks like something is missing. it looks a little empty, but anything is better than stock.i dont know if it would the sound "better," but it would aim it straight to the back and it may actually sound quieter from the cab, and maybe a little louder to the people behind you

and Aaron, i'll have to actually get out the tape measure and see how much longer of a tip i'd be able to fit in the stock location.... there's basically a 6 or 8 inch tip on there, then immediately a 90 degree turn.... so i don't know that i can fit anything longer on there without it sticking out past the truck's side.

also, you've mentioned you don't care about sound, but, would you be able to say if it sounds good or not.. i know your opinion on good may be my "ok" or "great" ...but im still looking to hear something if anything at all about it's sound

its a little louder than stock. sounds decent opened up and little louder than stock at idle. but its nothing like a flowmaster with duals or flowmaster dumped, or magnaflow duals. which ive had before..
now i have a borla SI/SO 2.25" exhaust dumped. i could prolly take a vid and post it tomorrow.
here a pic

it will be louder dumped right after the muffler. but the problem is it will cause rust and corrosion because of all the moisture. that is why i ran it the rest of the way back to the bumper.

There was a member here who was posting for like the first time on a truck he was going to buy. It was a white truck I believe and it had exaust like you are talking about. Personally I think it looks a miss because I am so use to seeing the Dual exhaust on trucks. Personally if you dont want dual I would try angleing it out after the rear tire.

If you had a molded bumper it would look good like on cars, but i agree that it will look like somethigns missing or its just off ballance...
lose the hitch and get a dual tip and run it out under the plate...
