Exhaust chop question

I’ve got the truck jacked up for some spring cleaning and I figured I’d knock out the exhaust chop.

Where exactly is the best place to cut?

Thanks

 

Few inches after the turndown

 

This^^^^ then you wont get drone.

 

Ok so which angle ?

 

parallel to the ground

 

I like second, but it doesnt really matter what angle.

 

Thanks everyone

 

Mine is cut similar to this. But I get some drone.

Course, I'm not stock! lol Dumping the exhaust under the bed will change the note a bit though. But it also means you won't be crushing your exhaust tip when off-road. That's why I did it!

 

its A tad louder but I’m 18 so it’s ok

 

I put my chrome top back on so i cut it flat

 

Do tips change the sound and or drone?

 

Nope but it was shown with a price on my window sticker so i felt i needed to retain it

 

Tomorrow its dark now

 

I just found this thread after doing some corrective fabrication after my most recent trip. I wanted to chime in to see if you guys recommend that I cut further back. I just cut off the damaged part of the tip because I figured I'd use the aft most hanger.

 

I often see people chop it right as the bend starts for going over the axle (looking from the rear) facing downwards towards the ground.

 

Yeah, I saw what Fourbanger did.

I guess my question is; what is the risk for vibration cutting it off before the last hanger? Doing the chop over the axle leaves about two-ish feet of a curved exhaust pipe off the end of the next hanger. I wanted to know if any of the folks like Fourbanger who have done this have noticed any vibration. I guess the worst time would be engine start up when the exhaust has the largest positional displacements.
