Default help with side pipes

This will seem like a stupid question to some people, but does it matter on how you mount the side pipes. Which is the left and which is the right? Do the brackets that mount to the frame point up or down. Thanks for the input.

Hookers brackets are up. Don't think they would fit the other way....

The exhaust should point down and away from the car...
