Got a quick question guys. My exhaust section after the muffler broke off due to crappy welding. I really don't want to go through the frustration of getting that piece remade and dealing with the horrible customer service of exhaust shops here. Is there any downside to just putting a turndown after the muffler. It's a stock muffler and the sound issue the cabin really hasn't changed to say it's louder. Thanks for m in advance for the help.

Quite a few here just lopped off the can and left it like that.

That should give you time to learn how to weld :biggrin:

I have had my exhaust dump via turn down in front of rear axle for couple years and never smelled exhaust or had any issues.

After driving it missing that rear section I haven't noticed any negative effects besides a slight increase in exhaust sound inside. Ended up just doing a turn down before the rear axle. I'm trying not to put too much more money into this vehicle.
