damaged tailpipe!! bummer :(
Well, I decided to back into something and bent my 4" tailpipe down to about 1" thin. Luckily I didn't damage the truck, so now I am thinking about chunking that tailpipe and doing something different.
I was going to do 5" after the 4" downpipe and exit bin front of the rear wheel.
1. how much black soot collects on the tire and wheel? (i think kwik might know)
2. any difference in cab noise?

now is the perfect time for STACKS! 
if you dont want it to show, cut it on a 45* angle facing downward at the closest spot to the bend that is still good. if you are worried about a black tire, cut it right after the hump and before it angles out to the side.

I've got a dually, and the lower rear of the fender gets blackened up some. Takes some scrubbing to get it clean. I personally wouldn't do a side pipe for that reason... too tough to clean the wheels, and the tire itself will get filthy, too. I actually just saw a pic last night of someone with a side pipe and the entire wheel/tire was pitch black... however I can't remember the link, and I think it was a bombed cummins... won't have quite as much smoke with your mods as that truck.

Here's a pic of mine: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...81971944OiToqB
I go from a Hog performance Stainless Downpipe to a 4-5" converter, 5" straight pipe then to a 45* 5" bend out in front of the rear wheel.
PS - it's for sale

Now I have to decide if I want to do stacks or side exit.
