Default Angled or straight backbox?

I currently have a straight backbox on my 97 uk classic, what do most people have/ prefer on there's, would it be best to stay straight?

Its like most things mate - down to personal preference,I had an afterburner vortex on my last impreza and that had an angled exit and looked cool imho.My current impreza has a scoobysport straight exit tailpipe,which seems tiny compared to the afterburner ,but it looks less aggresive as well,and sounds much much quieter,and much better looking than the standard 'pea' shooter.

Ive got a Blitz Nur Spec-R fitted to my Skyline and thats angled, but my Wagon exhaust is straight out but im after a back box for it that also comes out at an angle because i reckon it looks loads better.

Ive got a scoobyworld system with a ninja1 back box on my silver wagon. Its straight an fits in the original exhaust recess.
Ive got a HKS Hi power on my sti wagon its angled and hangs down quite low. The cars a fresh import an has tein coil overs fitted. Ive scrapped the backbox a few times going up ramps in shopping centres so ill need to raise the ride height then get the wheel alignment done. Again.
angled looks alot better and its supposed to give a more direct path for the exhaust.

I think its just a matter of taste really.

I used to be indecisive but now im not so sure.......... i like both!!
