    It was the upgraded Toyota Tip that was on the truck when I bought it. It's a Clamp/bolt on style.

    Well that was easy.. i just jacked the truck up to give myself more room through the rear wheel well, and took a hack saw to the tail pipe.

    alot of thought went into that cut.. I wanted to make sure it wouldnt possibly blow exhaust on the spare tire, or the leaf springs, or the axle.. it was a very precise and calculated cut.. :D

    yeaaaa that looks good right about... there..

    haha it was easier to cut this 2 1/2" exhaust pipe than it was to cut the 3" exhaust pipe last weekend for my snorkel. I only wish the truck had 3" exhaust pipe and that I had done this mod before I plumbed the snorkel, because it would have given me the exact thing I had to pay $20 for at an exhaust shop.

    Yea seriously.. i've thought of painting the exhaust black just to make it blend in better.. so much easier to just cut it off, and it makes so much sense too. lol

    Yes.

    Bring extra blades for your sawzall. You'll probably kill at least one.

    A small handful of select mods.

    It is funny that you bring that up because in Colorado the exhaust has to dump past the last axle on passenger cars and trucks. So those of you cutting in CO make sure it is after the axle hoop.
