IMO, anything bigger than a 6" looks way to huge.

I like what you got now, as my truck is set up the same. I think you will lose sound "quality" if you go any bigger. I just finished putting 4" exhaust under my stacks, and you wouldn't believe how much quieter it is, and i lost my whistle.

Leave it with dual stacks. It looks great! What a beautiful truck!

Thank you, I hate stacks over 6" on a pickup, just isnt proportional. MAYBE a single 7" if its done right. The ONLY thing I like about a pair of huge pipes is the exhaust note. I just went to a pull the other night n a 2nd gen had twin flat top 8's and the exhaust note was rival to a 600 Cat C16 with twin 8-10 pipes!!!! That was sweet, and it was a pullin truck only so it was OK.

2 8" miter shotguns, right next to each other in the center of the bed, or 2 7"ers

I personally like the look of the single miter cut stack but I dunno about 8 inch. id think it would look too big but Ive never seen one in person. Do what you want its your truck!!! Im jealous anyway that truck looks awesome.

Keep it like it is, anything over six is way to big, even six is kinda pushing it in my opinion

no, stacks belong on semi trucks and construction equipment, not pickup trucks

There is a pic somewhere on here with dual 8" bull haulers and I actually like it. I just set them in there as a joke but they looked kinda cool I thought. But your truck looks great as is.

I'm not sure you'd want the wifey to see that Richie. Must be the reason your truck is multi-colored though.
