1990 F150 Dumped Exhaust
So I just spent an hour looking for threads about a 90 f150 with dumped exhaust and found nothing. So I'm staring one myself. Right now I had a Flowmaster 40 series SIDO with huge 12" tips straight out the back. It is a great sound but the hangers keep breaking right near the tips. 4 times in the last 2 months. So I have been thinking of dumping it either after the rear axle or right behind the bumper. Any opinions and/or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.

i had pretty much the same setup and my hangers lasted 3 years and i even got rearended and they're fine. i reused them when i redid the system. are you using the j hook style hangers? the exhaust needs to have some kind of movement or the hangers/welds will break. thats why alot of shops use j hooks and rubber hangers like the factory.
this is the style hanger i used for my tailpipes- http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WLK-35103/ i bolted mine to the frame and clamped them to the pipes.

Yea there is alot of bouncing from the road that I drive one everyday for school. I have J hangers and the last time it happened my guy reinforced it, and it still broke, so... Avfrog, By cut off do you mean just a couple inches after the muffles its self? Would it sounds good one my truck?
