Default Yay or Nay? (Exhaust)

Check it...

Maybe a bit of a clearance issue going on...

At the angle I have it, there is NO bumper contact - and obviously the hangers will be modified and not be in the way, so there IS SOME wiggle room for a more outer angle, but to not look silly poking straight out, the canister will sit pretty damn low..

looks fine but i'll tell you now that if you try to angle the whole muffler like that you'll scrape the *@&# out of it if not just tear it off.

At that angle is will scrape like crazy. Going for just single exhaust? IMO i don't like single muffler on the LS plus the fart can style.

2.250 tapered to fit the canisters 3 or 3.5, I have to get it up on a lift to really see what can be done, maybe bens or cut or even relocate the heat shield a little. The damn canister is so big I can't angle much with the spare tire tub being right there, I may just have to have no angle and keep the tip flush with the bumper, which kinda ruins my whole deal set up... If that's the case, I may sell it.and do a custom semi-boso dual, or keep it single. Unsure at this point.

With what you just said, sell it for one with dimensions that are easier to work with.

Youre going to end up scraping a hole in that thing. It needs to be tucked. The LS is so long that my exhaust tips hit the ground too. Make some clearance for it at least.
