Well this is what I found out...Called one of the larger chains and asked them, their response was "You didn't buy it from us, sorry can't help you out kid" At 1st I was pretty pissed off at his attitude and, but then I thought about it and laughed. I'm 37 and someone called me "Kid" that was probably younger than me!

Next I called a little Mom & Pop Shop in town and was told it could go either way BUT if I put it in where the exhaust went over the the raised areas, it wouldn't be as quiet, less back pressure, and would last longer. This sounds like more of what I'm after. Putting it on so that the exhaust goes into the the raised area and right into the fiberglass will quiet it more, create some back pressure (though probably not noticable) and would definately burn out quicker. He recommended the way Will said, going over the raised areas. So I'll follow Sid's advice and try it that way, if I don't like it I can always unbolt it and turn it around. I also have an e-mail into the manufacturer, but I doubt I'll get anything back until next week. If anyone is interested it is a 12" glasspack with 3" inlet/outlet tips. I got it from JC Whitney, the part # is WF222826P.
Thanks for the input and have a great weekend / Father's Day
