My truck came with a dual exhaust cutout back bumper and i hated it so i posted an ad in CL and found some one with the same color back bumper. Today i had my exhaust cut and bent to the corners of the back bumper and swapped his for mine stright across.
What do u guys think?
Do you like the cutout back bumper or normal one?

I think it looks good either way .... I got the 5 inch Moes tips on mine. Fills the cut out more ... It's all about what you like ! :)

I hate exhaust tip period, but like the cut out as it gives the appearance that the exhaust has a home instead of just hanging there with no symmetrical relevance. Every vehicle I have ever owner I have gotten rid of the exhaust tip or it being visible except for the R/T, it's the only one I've kept and plan to kerp/modify once I figure out the roll pan

i want a roll pan but im not ready to commit to permanently installing one, i dont like how the roll pans look with it just bolted on. For it to look right it need to be welded and body worked in and the body line needs to be add in for the side profile to look right

Swapped out my dual exhaust and bumper for a single exhaust and non-cutout bumper and couldn't be happier. At the end of the day it is YOUR truck, do what makes you happy with it. Also around here almost all the rams I see have the factory duels so that look got old real quick for me.

Me too, I found one that matches the body lines on the side and wraps them around. I can't remember if it's a bolt on or not but looks really good. But I still want to modify it to have a hidden hitch and centered exhaust tips.

I was beginning to think I was the only RAM produced with single exhaust? lol

Every exhaust video on YouTube has the dual exit exhaust.
