Exh. exit pointing down after axle, diffuse smoke a bit?

I saw a Dodge in some recent magazine where he had what looked like the stock exhaust bending over the axle, but then it was cut and there was like a two foot, 5'' tip installed. it had probably a 45* angle to the ground. Do you all think this will sort of make my smoke less obvious? I am running the Smarty 4.4. Which I think smokes a bit more than my last tune. But it runs so good I don't want to change it. Any thoughts?

Thanx.

I have a turned down tip from Geno,s to help deflect the smoke from the 5er. It does help. I turned it slightly forward and down to keep the smoke off the 5er. Just guessing, I would say it cut the soot off the 5er by 70%.

Thanx for the replies guys. Mostly, I just want to be less conspicuous from possible police cars.
