Now its pretty rusted and it gets soot on my white rear bumper. Looks like there are just to spot welds holding it on, so I was just gonna cut it off and add a galvanized turn down or something.
But does anyone know how it would have looked from the factory?

The soot only seems to happen at startup, it really runs great though! I figured it was just a plain jain exhaust stock. Its good to know that it was aimed slightly towards the side though, if it looks OK ill do that.
