Default powerstroke straightpiped?

im hoping that someone could give me some input about straightpiping my exhaust. Another thought of mine would be to run it directly behind the passenger tire after the turbo. Someone let me know if their is anyreason i shouldnt. thanks

Are you talking about the running it out behind the front pasanger tire... Sure if you like smoke in the cab. The first thing i did was strait pipe mine i love it... This summer im going to customer a rear pipe. After i finished i noticed that the over the axle pipe has a bit of a kink in it so im going to cut it out and take it up to 4 or 5"...
