Default exhaust question

hey guys so i just redid my exhaust. Got a new cat and muffler. I want to run it with no tailpipe. So i want to dump it right after the muffler, but the only problem is that my exhaust hangs half way down to the ground now. Is there anyway i can pin it up so it won't hang down so far?

Why don't you want to run a tail pipe? There are hangars on the tail pipe so it won't hang so low.

I can not think of a benefit from not running a tail pipe.

? Run a tail pipe, keep the exhaust fumes out of your cab. And you can buy exhaust hangers that hold you exhaust up at advanced or auto zone.

if you don't own a welder than do what the other member said, and they are regular off the shelf item by the exhaust pieces usually.

Advance Auto, Autozone, and Napa all carry exhaust hangars.
