4" straight pipe into 6" tip, Need input on final positioning (pic)

I got my hands on some free stainless 4" and 6" tube, so i went to town with it, lol . I'm done with the exhaust except making a couple hangers for it, but I still can adjust the tip point, and thats where I'd like some input. Do yall like the spot I have it? It sticks out about parrellel with the SRW fender if u think of it like that and take away the dually fender. Any minor adjustments yall think might look better? I also plan to paint it with that mettalic satin black stove paint. Thanks

I would bring the tip out just a little more, it might resonate a little less...

yep, i would bring out a bit more.

if it's just barely even with the bed wall, it will RESONATE bad.

should help keep soot off the bumper & trailers.

How far back did you go with the 4"? I'd be worried about critters making a home in that 6"

lol, it's almost cartoonish big in real life compared to the 4" tip I had before. And if any critters do make it a home, they'll get a nice wake up call every morning getting shot out the tailpipe . The 4" tube comes back to about the middle of the spare tire or so. i'm gonna take a pic of the exhaust on the ground today. I didn't have any mandrel bends or anyting, so it's not the most 'free flowing' exhaust, but itll be better than the stock 3" tube anyday, the only real sharp turn is where it meets the tip, and I made that somewhat rounded so it flows nice.

k...so i'd like some input on something else, lol. I hit the tip with a sanding wheel to get ready to paint, but thought about somthing.

Should I polish the stainless, or continue and paint the tip with the satin metallic black?
