Default Exhaust routing


So this is my exhaust set up right now. Originally it was smacking the relocation brackets so I cut it. But decided to do this with it because I thought with the pipe pointing at the shackle I would melt the bushing. Problem is with this set up the exhaust vibrates the Jeep like crazy. I don't know why, maybe my set up is all wrong? Anyway if I cut it right before that hangar and get rid of that would that be sufficient or not. Thanks!

I would cut where the arrow is pointing in the pic and put a turn down tip on the end.




turn down tip..




As for the vibes check your trans/motor mounts for play.

It's gotta be the exhaust because it started right as I put the part on. And I can't route it the factory way because the relocation brackets are in the way

What Duma suggested is perfectly fine.
I have a turn down before the axle as many others do.
