Debating Turning exhaust out in front of passenger tire, flush with the bed then installing my tip there. Anyone done this and have any advice on how they like it? ):h

if your truck smokes it will puke soot down the side. I have trouble keeping my bumper and rear fender non sooty and I have a black truck

Isn't the frame rail in the way? You would have to drop the muffler or pipe... if you staight pipe... below the rails which seriously limit your off-roading...not to mention look rather http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/images/smilies/Throwup.gif This is my only complaint about these trucks, they need to put the frame rails higher!!

But, if you do go ahead with it, give us a pic or two....

ya im headed down there now, All of your guys advice has been greatly appreciated. White truck that I like to have clean, probably a bad idea, especially when I have to put it all back when CA starts emission testing someday. I have the down pipe, gutted kitty with no muffler, I think um going to 4" on out and put the tip on and be done with it. Ill get some pics and u guys can tell me what u think. Thanks!

didnt ford have a problem on some of their trucks with rusting or something because the exhaust came out in front of the rear tire?
