What size tube is that? 3''? On a dual system like I think you have, 2 1/2'' would be fine.

That is stupid. You would rather cut the **** out of your transfer case than route your exhaust correctly? Thats like wiping your butt before you poop. Then cutting your toilet out.

Have you ever thought about putting a flex coupler in?

It was a kit so wht you gonna do?

Taking a little off the tcase wont hurt it. I'm not cutting one of them off just triming down to size.

FTW do it how you want look at it this way, your taking off a little extra weight, I think you will gain 2 mpg for that one.

But taking the edge off wont mess anything up and how many people are gonna be looking at the underside of your truck.
