Default Exhaust pipe location

I am relatively new to a 31 Tudor. When looking at the exhaust pipe it ends in front of the rear axle. Is this normal? I would think it should go beyond the axle or above/below it so as not to exhaust right on the axle.

Is this unique to mine or a normal occurrence?

Normal.

If it bugs you, you can always get the SW extension from the vendors (or Aires)

A normal exhaust pipe ends on the passenger's side, just at the front of the rear axle housing, and about 1 to 1.5" below the rear axle housing.

Yup, that's where mine is . Was going to add an extension but there doesn't seem to be any fumes getting into the car .
