Cutting pipe off after muffler.
What difference will this make?
I'm getting tired of seeing this view with the rusty pipe looking out of place:

Best to head to a muffler shop and just get a new pipe put in place.
You take the chance of having the gasses accumalate right under your floorboards and perhaps entering the cockpit that way.
Always best to have the exhaust gasses pass out the side or rear of the vehicle.

remember that exhaust air will enter more to your vehicle if you make the pipe staright and your fond of opening your rear window while driving. Usually thats one of the issue why tail pipes are bent to the side. just an idea...

a pickup truck can have the exit before the rear tires as the muffler location is already after its passenger compartment (cab) eventhough it is in front of the rear axle
AGAIN, A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL SAY YEAH YOU WONT GET IN TROUBLE AND HELL, PROBABLY START BASHING ON ME, BUT THAT IS WHAT THE LAW STIPULATES, IF YOU CHOOSE TO DISREGARD IT, THAT IS YOUR OWN PROBLEM, BE AWARE THAT A SMOG PLACE CAN VISUALLY FAIL YOU FOR THIS, THIS CAN PREVENT YOU FROM REGISTERING YOUR TRUCK AND PREVENT IT FROM BEING LEGAL TO BE ON ANY ROADWAY.... ALSO IT'S DANGEROUS AS THE EXHUAST GASES CAN ENTER THE CAB MORE EASILY
EDIT: scofco is also in CANADIA but they have a system of laws very similar to US DOT

I cut mine off after the muffler and HATE it!
It resonates way too much under the cabin. Ive since found more rattles and squeaks in the rear since cutting it off. The sound resonates off the ground and echoes back up making it very loud and annoying. I liked it for about a week until it just sounded way too annoying in the cab.
I would just replace the side exit pipe and be done with it.

Here is what I did originally on my 1st gen:

Now it exists in about the same place, but pipe routed above the frame.

Through the bumper sounds like a great idea. I bet it would look 10 times better too.
I had 90* dumps just under the bed for a while but took them off because of the NoIsE.

I ended up hacking it off just past the axle.
The ugly was getting to be too much. Looks so much better now.
So far I like the sound, and the fumes don't seem to be any more of a problem.
If I don't like it down the road, it's easy to fix.
