Exhaust tip angle question

Our 06 exhaust tip burned\rusted out where the long end, nearest the bumper, goes. I got a new tip which is cut at an angle and was wondering if it could be aimed down, with the longer end on top. or if there is a reason the long end should be toward the rear? thanks

Dodge did it just to be different. Put the tip on so it looks good to YOU! Its your truck!

^^^ I agree

It has no reason for the way it is. I think pointing down would also help a little with soot on the bumper. Not sure but it makes sense in my head!

When I had my replacement exhaust sys tem installed I had them put a turn-down tip on it and angled it about 45* to the rear where it comes out behind the rear tire. It keeps the soot off the truck and it really cut down on the drone; practically none at all.
