Default RE: SR-71 Tailpipe alignment design question..

Take the engine out senario out of the question, for the moment. (yea my brain was backward early this morning on the pointing prop engines inward, as I was using the 'toe-in' analogy)

Assume for the question that both engines are running solid, does a bit of outward angle on the exhaust pipes help with any stablity issues?

One that comes to mind, is for example throttle changes if one engine is a second or two behind or ahead of the other one.
