to cut or not?

so im finishing up the exhaust/stack setup on the truck and yes the stock will be in place as well for several reasons.

my question is should i cut the tailpipe? i was just gonna hack it off after it goes over the axel but now that im thinking about it the soot might hit the flat part of the stock trailer and go all over everything... and if i leave it as is i think it wont look right.

do you guys think a black turndown or something comeing out back would make it go down enough to go under the trailer and not hit the front? any other ideas

If you ran the exhaust straight out the back and then put a turn down on it i bet the air flow from driving would pull the soot right under the trailer.

yes.. i really wanted stacks myself but did not want to muffle them and with a trailer on the drone is unberable on the highway... and i haul alot of cattle that are primarly show cattle and cant have any soot going into the trailer.. and being able to switch lets me have stacks when i want and a quiet exhaust that exits out the rear for hauling
