Turn-down (for what) on stock exhaust - vibrations?

I'm looking to dispose of the tip on my exhaust in lieu of tucking it underneath. I remember when I did this on a couple of my Mustangs vibrations went up immediately from the exhaust bouncing against the ground.

Is this something that also happens with the Taco or is it too tall to cause that annoyance?

 

I'd like to see some different set-up, also...

 

Anything exiting under the truck is gonna resonate! Especially under a truck bed..

 

I've seen loads of people just chop it right after the axel. Makes it a bit louder as it resonates under the bed, but not much louder. A few times while riding with them I could smell fumes at a stop light, but most people that have done say they never smell fumes.

 

I've got mine chopped before my rear axle and I don't notice any odd vibrations, nor do I smell any fumes. It does increase cab noise, but that doesn't bother me... that's why I added the flowmaster muffler along with the cut and turned down exhaust.

 

I have an mbrp turndown. Drones a bit above 70, but 65 it's barely noticeable. Sounds pretty good, I got it mostly because stock exhaust was yellowing my paint bad.

 

chopped my 3" super44 after the axle and noticed a slight bit more rumble, but no biggie

 

Here is a pic of my turn down exhaust, right after the stock muffler. No increased noise or vibration; extremely happy with the result.

 

This is my set up..... dynomax super turbo muffler, 2.5 piping and a 5" tip over the axel. No drone at all.

Only slightly relevant, but I was going to to a turn down on mine when getting my new muffler installed, but the guy advised against it because he said that exhaust gases are corrosive. Not sure how true it is because I never took the time to research it, but he seemed like a very knowledgeable guy so I took his advice.
