Removing tail pipe?

Hey guys, I just had a question about removing my tail pipe and putting a 3” turndown on the stock muffler, would that “hurt” anything, Any “pros” or “cons” I should be aware of ?

 

2nd best free mod. Aesthetically awesome and even more necessary if you off road. I just cut mine after the axle.

 

I had the muffler shop cut mine just after the last hanger and weld on a turn down tip.

$30 and about 20 minutes later I drove off happy. Old pic, but you get the gist.

 

I cut oem after the axle with a sawzall it was a easy solution took 5 mins. I then wanted the truck to sound a lil beefier so I bought a MBRP easy install

 

I'd love to hear a sound clip of this.​

thanks everyone! I like chads pride idea, and if I want it a little louder il just cut off the tailpipe entirely, and add a turndown on the muffler itself thank you for all your input.

this is how I cut mine

 

I turned my down immediately after muffler where there is a hanger. Just before rear axle. Its just a tad louder but not bad at all. Some will say the exhaust fumes could come in. Just dont run truck for a half hour in one spot then. Love my turn down

 

My exhaust shop said to ensure its cut immediately after a pipe hanger. So its not flimsy or break off in future. Just food for thought even if this user has no issues

 

Thank you fried! Il more than likely try cutting it off after the rear axel and see if I like it.

 

Thank you! Yes I was afraid of that, I believe il cut it after the factory hanger and weld a turndown in.

 

so far no issues whatsoever

 

Thanks for the clip!

 

No worries not the greatest sound clip ,but it will give you an idea on sound.

 

Id like to hear one getting up to speed also
