Don't think so. I think that the exhaust is leaking under you and I would think you should look for the leak, because you might get carbon monoxide.

Maybe im missing something (its been a very long day) but what do you mean you can "feel the exhaust"?

You say you dont have any leaks? Does the truck run ok?

That's called an acid trip. As long as you're not driving while on acid, enjoy your exhaust sensation.

look for a loose or broken bracket, when i got mine one of the front mounting brackets was broken, allowing the exaust to beat against the frame in the back

I felt this way on LSD once. But I was feeling the air from the vents.

I think you should elaborate on your problem

Feel the exhaust? as in your sitting there and the truck is shaking a little bit? Maybe running a little rough? Maybe a broken rubber mount and the exhaust is rubbing against the frame? Give us more info here to work with...

yea cause if u have the full exhaust system going out the back you shouldnt really feel it...on my 5.9 i have the exhaust dumped right after the muffler so i can feel it just cause it resonates? if i spelt that right....underneith the truck...before the only way i "felt" the exhaust was cause the engine was running a little rough and would vibrate the whole cab
