You might want to be more specific about what you are trying to do if you hope to get a useful response.

It's not going to change the decible output of the silencer, but it is going to change the tuned length of the exhaust.
A downturned tailpipe is an old trick that is intended to direct the sound towards the ground and diffuse it a little, thus making it seem a little quieter from a distance. In reality, it doesn't do much. And if you ride in areas that sound test, it won't change the test results one bit.

Then get a quiet silencer like the "Q", and fabricate an air box lid to reduce intake noise.

You could always fab the downpipe start the bike and just hold it there and see what you think. Maby tack it on to see if it effects performance. If not, wheld it on. It it does, try something else.
Be aware of possible fire issues with pointing the silencer down!One spark in a dry area cold be BIG trouble!
