I've seen them come out and up over the cab, thru the bed or dump out over the rear axle. I suppose for muddin out the side would work?

heres how i got mine so it doesnt drown my truck when i go thru water...

you should be alright going through water as long as your truck doens stall, just dont get your engine wet unless you water proof it, and if your going through water or mud, make sure you extend your diff breather.

ya i know i gotta put a snorkle on it so i dont get water into the air filter but i was simply asking if i need to spend the extra money to keep my exhaust from flooding or just not worry about it.

you should be alright, if your pipe is underwater just try not to stall out, and if you bogging in deep ruts, it may scrape the ground and get damaged or torn off, but naa, you dont really need to worry

if you're going to be going through water that deep.....

then yea you should probably get a stack put in...i brought mine up through the bed(dual stacks...lol i was 16).


and yea you'll want a snorkel....and you might as well look into waterproofing the rest of your truck..and moving your ECU up into your glovebox.

and yes diff breathers are a must.

might as well extend the breather on the tranny..and the t-case as well..

ull be fine without modding the exhaust at all, even if you stall out with the pipe under the water, as long as your motor isnt, wich if your motors underwater ull have other probs that will prob not let you start ur truck anyway
