The bend is towards the front on the car. I have seen a few pics where the bend is towards the back of the car. What is correct??? What issues are the if it is installed backwards? couple pics... looking from the front under the car. FSM

My 'detail orientation' as it relates to that pic is that round pipes flow better than dented pipes. I do not care to sacrifice function under the hood or under the car for the sake of OEM condition.
