QUESTION: You mean exhaust pipe or tail pipe or both?

And please I have one more question about suspension, I want to lower my ride by cutting the spring, how many ring should I cut to not damage my shock?

Answer
OK,  I don't usually answer questions that are not related to actual race cars.  Jeeps are not and never will be, race cars.

AS to my previous answer, increase the size of the entire exhaust system.

As to lowering the car, your suspension was designed by a highly trained team of automotive engineers. Lowering the vehicle can create steering , handling and control problems that are dangerous. Cutting coils off springs USUALLY causes damage to the chassis over time. Don't' do it.
