Exhaust dump needed.....cut here?

So it looks like I will have to dump my exhaust due to hitting the leaf springs on both sides. Should I cut here where it is circled and would I need to put tips on? The other option would be to have the pipes redone but they would have to move a out 6 to 8 inches closer to the center and I dont think in would look that good.

 

I would cut at the red line. No tips needed they are just for looks

 

Yeah just above the leaf springs. No issues with heat?

 

Nope, you'll be good!

 

@Rex Kramer - I see that your rear TRD sway is flipped up? Just curious, what is the reason you did that? And does it still drive/ work the same as installed the conventional way. Did you use the original hardware/bolts,etc? Thanks

(sorry for the off topic question guys)

 

It works the same way. Some lifted trucks put it this way to help with clearance and fitment.

 

Ok, cool. I figured it was to help with clearance but didn't know if still works the same. I may do that also. Thanks for the info

 

I lowered the bed 3.25" by hanging the leaf springs under the axle, the end link on my sway bar are much shorter than standard so the bar must be repositioned accordingly.

 

I dumped mine as well. No change in sound, purely aesthetic.
