Just traded a 2004 Dodge 4X4 2500 SLT Sport HO Quad Cab for the truck in the sig. Old truck blew exhaust all over the lower right rear corner panel and rear bumper - stained it, as well as stained ...

I see you have a RAM. Unlike GM and Ford, RAM doesn't have any venturi effect on its exhaust pipe. Many just lop off the last 6 or 8 inches on the pipe and install the tip of their choice. Nothing to hurt and no soot ouput with the modern emissions on trucks. I've been thinking of doing something similar just for looks.
Happy hunting!
PS. This is just speculation on my part, but I'm guessing the reason why RAM doesn't have any venturi tip is because the DPF is actually the first thing in the exhaust path. So it lights off sooner. Then you have the SCR/Catalyst section afterward. I think that the exhaust gases have just enough opportunity to cool before exiting with that exhaust setup rendering the venturi tip unnecessary. I believe Ford has their DPF closer to the end of the exhaust system and GM may also be the same (unsure on GM actually, any experts that can chime in?).
