muffler cut

Do I need to regear?

CMC? Will it rub?


Halp! Need a recovery . . .

 

Get a radius from the tire calculator

Use a tape measure from the center of the hanger to the pipe. IF that's the only reason you are cutting it.

Many cut it because its susceptible to crushing going over some obstacles. Some think it sounds better, which of course is subjective.

But its good to see you going skinny. Fatter isn't always better.

 

finally cut mine! now just paint black for looks.

 

What savage doesn't like a chipmunk?

 

Is there a concern of exhaust minimally or some building up under truck ??

I get not when driving but when stopped ?

 

That’s what I was thinking when I saw this a while ago, especially if they have a cap.

 

Which tires did you get?
The coopers fit in the oem spare location without having to relocate the tire hangar.
It is a bit close to the pipe but I don’t want to create a trd gas chamber.

 

Cooking your spare tire is more like it

 

Better just to have done a reroute of the pipe . wouldn’t cost u that much . And it would look cleaner .

 

@tonered has reported never having experienced any issues. i had smell and drone from mine, same cut, but i had a custom exhaust so that may be a part. i went back and added a tailpipe.

 

Not a single problem or smell for me. Nothing but a perfect amount of exhaust sound.

 

what are those shocks you have on there?

 

Those are Bilstein 5100’s

 

I have a magnaflow but yes it would.

 

letter o the law this zip code = illegal

cant get an inspection sticker

some states dont have safety inspections ....................passing thru no issues

 

I just cut my tailpipe off the stock muffler and welded a short turn down. no sound differents

 

in other news I'm expecting a new muffler in the mail today, this will be my fourth on the truck, my second Spintech. currently on a Gibson, nice performance but not really a sound fan here. i liked my last Spintech, 3000XLP, but want to change the sound a bit. looking forward to more playing around with the exhaust.

 

Cool, I just ordered a Carven TR for my 2.7. At 54K miles on the stock exhaust, I am ready for a change of sound..

Now I am debating on doing this chop to my stock tailpipe, or leaving tailpipe as it is with the TRD tip. havent yet decided.
