Any issues with moisture in stacks?

For those of you who run stacks are there any issues with moisture (rain/snow) getting in your stacks?

Well the biggest issue I can think of is all the black soot that gets over your truck if you dont cover it up.

never covered mine, no issues. drill a 1/8th" drain hole in the bottom of the last elbow if you really want to be sure. I have just enough leakage at the flex pipe band clamps to take care of it.

i have a green truck so i dont notice much on the paint. i use to cover mine with custom covers (plastic coffee cans) but that was a hassle. they have been uncovered for about 7 months no problems

sorry dieseldude, but if stacks are ugly why are you reading a post about stacks. they might be ugly to you, but thats the kicker im not you and they look awesome to me. nowhere did this post say anything about the anti-stack club!

ive never coverd mine. soot gets everywhere but its worth it to have a truck that sounds like a tri axle.

well dieseldude i get complements every day from people saying the stacks are awsome. when i had a tail pipe you wouldent like leaving a stoplight next to me in your neon. so there is a function to them to.
