Yeah, I don't know why I do that. As for the pipe, If i get them to run new pipes out the back like stock, will they be able to run the end of it higher so that it is the stock (or close) distance from the body with a body lift? The only reason I didn't want to run it out the back is because of the distance the stock pipe has from the body, but obviously safety come first! Other than that, let me get this straight, dumping exhaust on SUV, bad, on truck, not ideal, but not bad. Am I right?

yes a custom shop should be able to run the exhaust just about anyway you want...
trucks can get away with dumps, because the cab isnt over the dump, just the bed is...
doing a test yesterday i was getting CO readings of 11 parts per 1,000,000 in the back seat. When im working at the firehouse, and we get a CO readings of 10 PPM. For general saftey we put air packs on, so yea i quickly went back to the exhaust shop

me too! I was recommending to a lot of people to dump their exhausts, but not anymore! This thread seriously could have saved some lives.
