exhaust dumping under bed?

I wanna let my exhaust dump underneath the bed before the rear. If doing this, how much harm will it do to the bed?

Shouldn't hurt the bed but it will cause "drone"

If you use turn downs to point the flow toward the ground no damage will likely occur.

So none of the emissions will cause the bed to rot out or anything?

It might turn the bottom black (only without turn downs). IMO it would sound way better if it dumped outside.

Not quite the same, but my Jimmy has full duals dumping down before the back axle. Doesn't appear to have any effect on the vehicle itself, but it sure is noisy...
