You need to be careful with this move though. you could get exhaust swirling up into the rear bumper and eventually getting sucked back into the cabin.
What do you get from a Resonator Delete?

Incorrect. Our cabins are positively pressurized when we drive. Next time you're driving, leave the HVAC blower off, but set the mode to the dash vents. As you drive you'll feel a breeze coming in. There's a cabin vent in the cargo area on the driver's side behind the panel for the air to exit.
A number of us, myself included, have run our rigs with the resonator cut off at the rear hanger for years with no issues.

I am yet to smell any exhaust with this setup in front of the axle under the windows, so i doubt behind the axle will be an issue.
My resonator has been gone for so long, sometimes I see other TB's in traffic and wonder why in the hell they put their muffler back there, then I remember lol.
I haven't ever had any smell.

I am having zero luck finding 2.75" tubing, except for full 4' lengths that are $65+ on the internet. Ive tried custom exhaust shops, I guess I should try some cheapy shops just to see if they have any.

Get a 2.75" to 2.5" reducer, and run 2.5" pipe out the back.
Or, get a 3" to 2.75" reducer and run a 3" pipe out the back.

I mean I wouldn't never do this on mine but just a idea get you a fence post at lowes or Home Depot and cut it down and spray it black
So I guess there's no way to do this cheaply. No one carries 2.75" tubes. If you order online, you have to buy 4' or more for a ton of money, plus shipping. I can upgrade to 3" easy enough, but I want that stock look with the loop down subtle tip at the end, which means i'd need 3" tube plus the tip, or 3" tube and have it bent 30° for me. At those prices, it's just as expensive to just go to an exhaust shop and have it done. This was supposed to be a quick thing my mechanic did while he was replacing the springs, just cut out the resonator and stick a straight pipe in it's place. Bummer.

Finally...
After 2 years of owning my TB I finally deleted the resonator and I have to say to everyone who has one this is a must, it sounds a tad bit more aggressive and I feel more power when revving up the truck not to mention it looks so much better from having that big tank hanging out
