On my daily 235 with original fentons, I have straight 2" pipes behind, not directly under the running boards, exiting before the rear tire.
The only thing with Lake/Side pipes on a 6 is that the pipes end up being uneven length, which gives an uneven noisy exhaust note.
Also promotes rapping, cracking and popping on deceleration in gear.
Chevy bombs lowriders love that exhaust sound.
However, you won't believe the improvement in sound of your 235 with straight pipes that are even length and in tune!
The forward header pipe on my truck routes under the oil pan and exits about mid way under the passenger running board.
The driver side pipe exits before the spring eye.
Sound is subjective to personal taste - there are always many opinions on what sounds better or worse.
Sounds examples never really give the whole spectrum and sound changes at idle, cruising, pulling or racing.
I say - experiment and have fun!
My 235 has sounded very different over the years.
Tried different length and types of glass and steel pack mufflers, different mounting locations, fence post pipes - shorter - longer, etc.
Keeping things simple and in balance was the key for me....
