Personal taste, I picked the slash ups due to the angle follows the angle of the bags. Bassanis, 4 inch dia. 2 inch baffles, louder than stock, deep, not very loud.

Presently have slash down. I also have a set of turnouts/down.
For a change I am going to put on the turnouts and point out to sides..

I voted slash down because of the water/rust issue if they are slashed up, but your slash ups are the bomb!
