Default Crunched my tailpipe wheelin'. Replace it? With what?

So the damage isn't that bad, and It's drivable for as long as I want to, but it also gives me an excuse to replace the exhaust system.

Can anybody give me a recommendation of an exhaust that is made for off road with a tucked away tailpipe or possibly one that's more durable? Oh yeah, I'd also like to get a little performance boost and deep throaty sound out of it too.

The mbrp is pretty sweet, and the muffler is much smaller than stock. They have an offroad one with the muffler in front of the axle

25 bucks and it was taken care of.
Doesn't this effect your low end torque?

A lot of guys are trimming the tailpipe with a sawzall... if the dameage isn't bad you could just cut off the end.

mines not a "cherry bomb" but looks the same on the outside(bullet proof). its in the stock location but I got the guy who installed it to tuck it up as much as possible and have the tail pipe so it can't be pinched(its just infront of the rear crossmember/bumper so if I do hit something comming off a drop it won't pinch)

X2 I have the stainless MBRP exhaust with the relocated muffler tucked up in the frame rails for offroading. I love it, nice sound, not too ricey at lower RPMs.

Looking at getting this. How are the exhaust fumes with it further forward?

This idea should help with avoidance of crunching your tailpipe....

I must say that's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. I guess that's the dirty south for you.

It doesn't exit any further it dumps out the exhaust fumes right behind the rear axle. The muffler is just tucked up and out of the way unlike the stock one. The exit pipe is basically in the same position so there isn't any noticeable difference in fumes.
