Stack question

I am about to put stacks on my truck and I've been thinking about how I should run the pipe in the bed. But I saw this picture and I really like how they did it, but my question is will I lose any power because of the T in the middle and the boxed corners?

That is how I have mine run and it didn't make any difference in power.

Just do your best to feed the cross over in the center so the smoke is even.

2, 10'' stacks on a pickup... For years 15L semi motors only ran 1 stack, hell some still do! I have a single 5'' turnout on my 1st gen and it gets more than enough flow and sounds good and makes me deaf at the same time! Eventually I may like to get a twin 5'' miter cut put in but dual 10 inch stacks?

Well my friend just got duel 8"s. So naturally... I gotta go bigger. 26" rims? I don't think so, now 6" lift and 40" tires sound a little better. I could go duel 16" stacks haha i found some on ebay, but that is a little too big for me.

I like to have a little velocity when the smoke comes out. I don't care for the wood stove effect.

What a horrible looking mess lol. They could have least got the tapered part down below the bed rails. Then he is powerbraking it or what ever you want to call it gets the turbo nice and warm then just shuts her right off.

8" is big for a semi. Those 12's I bet would even look dumb on them.
