Like Chase said but after awhile you'll have some soot all underneath the truck over time back there. What I would have done is take out the muffler and had a delete(straight pipe) welded in its place, this way the exhaust exits out the back...

i actually just got done making my own turndown out of the stock exhaust pieces. it is inside the wheel and a few inches before it but angled right at the ground, i knew it would soot everything so i tried to help as much as possible. also, any of you guys in mass have a problem with the straight pipe?
Thanks,

I'd imagine Mass could be a little annoying about it. They're pretty obnoxious.
One option is to gut your stock muffler and put a pipe straight through so it appears to be there, but in reality it is a straight pipe going through a hollowed muffler.
