Stacks in the Rain?
What to do?

Driving i'm not worried about it....but when its sitting in the driveway it worries me.

Any good solutions? certain place to drill hole? rig up a valve and drain tube?

You won't have an issue with your bull hauler. My miters have been sitting in the rain all day and I just fired it up and drove off. Mine leaks enough at the joints that it all just runs out.

I hate stacks + rain. My truck looks like someone took a giant pepper shaker and dumped it on my truck when I started it up this morning

you need to drain the rain somehow prior to starting your truck... i have never had a problem with sut getting on my truck.

I dont know if this guy is around anymore but my stacks were made by Rob Thomas who is/or used to be on TDR. They are self draining and very awesome.

There is one rule with stacks you never start the truck with the windows down.

I just wished my truck could run the 1/4 without stacks because I would take them off for all the reasons above... They do play some nice music to the ears tho
