Default ? about dumps

i've always had an issue with the rear axle hitting the exhaust when i hit bumps. i recently replaced the rear shocks and springs and it helped a lot but it didn't stop the problem. i have bbk unequal length shorties, o/r x pipe and flows. you can see on the tail pipes where the axle is hitting it so i was thinking about just doing away with the tail pipes and going with dumps. my question is is there any downside to dumps? i don't mind my exhaust being a little louder. thanks for any input guys.

Some people complain of exhaust fumes but I've never noticed anything before.

It will be considerably louder and have way more interior resonance. Not to mention attracting more attention from the 'swine' in the area.

haha i have never had a problem with the fuzz in my area. they spend their time chasing after all the rice we have around here. everytime i get pulled over the cop is like "so what year is it?" or "man, i used to have one just like this." and yea i have heard about the fumes too. i can already smell it sitting at a light or in traffic so i hope it doesn't get much worse.

if your weatherstips are worn, minor fumes will enter the vehicle at a stop still.

I open my sun roof and crack the windows

my girlfriend was driving behind me and she said that even directly behind me she could barely hear my car. of course, when she was right next to me at the stoplight, she said that my pulsating exhaust was vibrating the inside of her car.[8D]

Is your girlfriend helen keller? If you can't hear dumps let alone a 2.5in flowmaster catback you're f-ing deaf.
