Exhaust after rear 1/4 chop

Post by JAFO74 »

Hi all, after doing the chop and starting to make a new rear bar I am wondering what anybody else has done with the exhaust pipe that now hangs out ready to get destroyed. I am pretty shaw that I can't 'legally' just cut it off under the car so I am up for suggestions and any photos of what others have done about this.
Thanks

Cut the exhaust back and use a dump pipe that has a bend on the end to angle it down. Obviously it has to still be higher then your departure angle

I am not bagging it because I think it is a completely fine way of doing it, but being very technical about it, is that sufficiently far behind the last openable window to be legal?

I am not saying it's wrong just asking whether technically it could get knocked back on a roadworthy.
This is not legal advice.

Just leave it. If u have a rock that close to that part of ur car u have bigger problems then a bent exhaust. Lol mine is same and I haven't hit it yet touch wood. If it exits under the car after chopping u can end up having fumes coming into ur truck through various holes and crevessis.
