Default Just cut my true duals

My true duals went under my rear end and when I was changing my rear shocks and springs my rear end couldn't lower far enough to get my springs out so I cut my exhaust off about 6in after the mufflers. Does it matter if I don't have turn downs? Will it harm my car at all? It should only be about a month before I put my new headers and exhaust on do you think I will have any problems?

only thing it might do is make your car vibrate/resonate more and you might get a little more fumes in the car.

Won't hurt the car but will fume you out a little. Also makes the under side rear of the car black and sooty after a while.

buy some turndowns at autozone, and clamp them on.

Just to avoid soot.

Now, if you don't really drive it, then might as well leave it.
