You could do a turn down right after the muffler.

Mine just dumps out the cat... Check your emissions laws though, some states require the exhaust exits the dimensions of the vehicle.

Yeah I'm guessing California has that law since they have everything else under the sun

I have mine cut off right behind the rear most hanger that you have pictured. It ends right beside the gas tank so I added a turndown and angled it away from the gas tank and bushings.
