What exactly do you mean by exhaust over the axle? The factory exhaust routing is over the axle.

Shoot, I read the title and put my own beer down. I thought maybe I'd had to much to drink LOL.

I'd have to say fire the exhaust tech that installed your exhaust

Can we see a picture of you exhaust under the axle ?

I think he was asking
if it is worth running it all the way back or just dump it down right after the muffler

I did a flowmaster 40 with a dump before the axle and it is a little to loud for me but not that bad and the cops don't bother me about it so it must not be to loud

If you right click on an image, and go to the Properties, it will tell you the original location of the image. The headbag image came from xjtalk.com, they have some other good ones as well.
