Tailpipe opinion

Going to new tailpipes soon. Currently my temporary pipes exit on an angle behind the rear tire. Should I have them exit like they are now or go out the rear like the factory did?

Two reasons why I like the way the factory did it.
#1: keeps the road grim off the tail pipes.
#2: The tail pipes are higher up from the road, away from puddles better.
My van I installed the end pipes coming out in front of the rear tires (2.5") I did not want to reduce the size going over the axle, but doing that you need to make sure the ends are beyond the body, to reduce fumes, it's the law.
