Is it better to center exhaust?

[milkacaduke]

just curious is it better to center exhaust? or no.something like alot of Zs are doing, i guess better exhaust sounds but with backpressure issues the car is accually gonna run slower?just curious what if we do it on our A/C. maybe a body kit like the Z's?

You can put your exhaust wherever you want based on your preference for how it looks. I'm guess one reason to have it down the center is so that its straighter. Fewer bends means better exhaust flow. Everyone mentions the issue with too little/too much back pressure but really - stock is on one end of the spectrum and open header is on the other end. If all else is equal I'm gonna bet there's not a huge difference. Also, there aren't any kits for the A/C that would allow this type of exhaust placement since the A/C came stock with 2 mufflers. You'd have to run it below the bumper which could cause clearance issues.
