Default Dump Exhaust

I cut my tail pipes off because of that Shock problem i had, so no I have mufflers, an inch of pipe and then nothing.

Is this going to destroy my axel and parts under my car over time unless I pipe it over as side or pipe it down to be true dump?

All that exhaust is now going straight into my rear axel which is already kinda weathered.

i wouldnt think it would hurt such a thick peice of iron but to keep the oil temps lower in the diff, you might want to use dumps to dirrect the hot gasses away

I would be concerned about the gas tank, is it plastic? if so, you may over time melt a hole in it if not i woudent worry much.
