Tail Pipe Chop

Has anyone cut the tail pipe off a 3rd gen yet for more clearance? I've nearly smashed mine several times offroad. Thinking of cutting it above the axle or after the muffler.

 

you mean exhaust reroute...

 

no. exhaust reroute is the y-pipe by the t-case. I referring to the tail pipe behind the bed

 

its been done by several people chopped a bit higher than the rear axle.

 

pics?

 

Catback short-exit straight pipe ftw

 

no straight pipe unless I do v8 swap

 

I already smashed my exhaust wheeling. I'm going to cut the pipe for more clearance sometime next week probably

 

Something like this? Had my local muffler shop chop it off for $5. Going back in a week to have the full reroute done with a new muffler and pipes.

 

Exactly like that. What shop did you have do it? Im in San Diego and Huntington Beach all the time

 

Here is what I needed up doing.

 

Had mine done at Plaza Muffler in Orange off the Orange Circle.
But I'm sure you could pay any muffler shop $5-$10 to chop it for you in 2 minutes.

 

Thanks bro!

 

Do you have a spare 255/80/17 under there?

 

spare is in the bed

 

I cut mine about 3" from the muffler. Used a Dremel with a cutting wheel. It drones a little more now than it did. I hated the look of the pipe coming out from the side of the truck.

 

i chopped mine a while ago. didnt notice any difference in performance or sounds. looks way cleaner in back also with out it.

 

You can't just take a hack saw and cutt it like that? I might would cut it just after the last hanger though.

 

Yes you can.

 

Was there any changes in the exhaust sound?
