Thanks guys!!! whole setup cost about a buck fifty....stacks were 38 each plus some flex, clamps, and an elbow. Some 1200* paint. The square tubing is 6" that I picked up a few years ago for a bumper before I bought one.

Im about to build my own taillight boxes that will be blacked out probably, along with any remaining chrome except the grille.

And one more...this ones mainly for the sound, though the smoke drifting over is cool.

Looks good man my buddie did that box tubing on his 98.5. That is definately an easy way to do it. Any word on that Stevenville GTG yet?

very nice i like the straight cut,they are something a little different than most people have. i'm planning on going with them when i get them on my truck. my dad has built several of these stack boxes for my brother and local guys. they are also for sale at a diesel performance shop in our area. the square tube really has an interesting sound i think and does smoke evenly. the guys who have them on their trucks have all reported an increase in fuel mileage also.

The black looks good. I am not a fan of stacks, but I kindof like the black.

That oven paint stuff does not last real good. You might consider John Deere Blitz Black if it does not last. That stuff will stand the UV and is not too expensive at the dealership.

The bumper is about 20ft away in that pic, dont worry. Im in the middle of putting my intercooler in so the whole truck is in pieces, just slapped the grille on to go for a drive. Im running 265/75/16 BFGs on 16x8s. I had the heavy duty RV springs put in the front to bring it up, and when they did it had the front higher than the rear so I had add-a-leafs put in.

Thanks. The stacks are painted with duplicolor's high heat and the other stuff isnt actually oven paint. I just call it that cause it turned out dark gray. BTW Ive seen your truck around a time or two, you should try to make it to one of the meets....mainly bs sessions but we usually find something to work on.
