Cut exhaust - issues?

Lol true. Just search the old Youtube university if you haven't welded before.

 

cut mine like this. have the mbrp cat back setup which came with the pickup. i don't notice and fumes or extra drone the mbrp is not the quietest though lol. I had to cut mine to fit my 285/70/17 in the spare tire space and i had to hammer the tabs where the spare tire goes open and drop the air pressure down to 13psi.

 

I need to get around to making me spare fit there. 255/85/17 will take some modifications I reckon

 

Again, thanks for all the replies.
I am seriously thinking about this, but might have to wait a bit. Might mull it over a bit more.

Indeed, there is a cool thread somewhere on TW I'm going to replicate, about removing the spare tire carrier from the underside of the truck and re-drilling the holes to accommodate a 275/70.

 

Instead of cutting it above the axle, I cut mine off behind the last hanger and put a downspout tip on it. Works great and clears the spare- puts the exhaust outlet further back so there are no fumes. Makes it useful too as I scrape my rear end occasionally on ruts and other obstacles like boulders when I drive up and over them, especially on that right rear wheel.

 

Great idea, lots more to think about here.

 

Did the same…

 

Well, No turning back now.
I don't handle peer pressure all that well.
This is perfect. I'm not catching this drone everyone speaks of. With stock muffler and 2.5" pipe this is about as good as it gets without getting loud. I should add it's a resonator tip.
Not much difference in noise which I like. I'm telling ya, getting rid of those 2 extra bends opens it up.

 

I used this thread to relocate the spare tire chain. You are just drilling a couple of new holes and using the existing 2 holes closest to the rear. It works pretty darn good and you don't have to yank on the tire while pulling it up. I used a step bit

Dude, sell that foofoo tip on Marketplace and get something useful, like a case of good beer!

 

Thanks, that's it!!

I'm definitely doing that. Seems way easier than fighting to get a 285/70 under there.

 

Good beer isn't sold by the case.
Take your PBR and your nipple rings to another thread.

 

Cut Mine never looked back. Unless your dog or whoever is sitting in the bed stationary I don’t see any issues. If you post up and sit for extended periods with the vehicle on then the game changes.

 

I did the axle dump on both the stock exhaust and the URD Spec-U exhaust and there was 0 increase of drone with either system.

 

Doesn’t come in cases? Got a case of this as a XMas gift from my boss once- it was the best darn case of beer I ever had. Tried to get more a while back and it goes for like $20/bottle if you can find it.

I was just kidding about the TRD tip- just haven’t seen one mounted like that. Can you actually see it? I did sell mine for $50 after my tailpipe bob and got some “camping supplies” and bought my $7 tip at a autoparts place…

 

Cut mine in August 2020 and haven't looked back. Chopped it right at the muffler and then added a downward tip. Easy peasy.

 

Might have to just do it.

Got some Wet okole seat covers to install first!

 

Haha. I haven't had a beer/drink in 12yrs. Just bustin' balls, too, brother. All in good fun. Thanks for not being sensitive. lol
12yrs ago I was right. Good beer did not come in cases. heh
The tip is me playing around with parts.
No, you don't see it.
I was reading resonator tips will eliminate any high tones from the exhaust.
Not looking for loud.
