Stacks and 16cm installed

I just got my dual 5" stacks and 16cm housing installed in the truck. Man what a difference that little bit makes. I haven't touched any of the tweaks or pumps yet, but that make a tremendous difference over stock. I should have some pics posted later today. While I was under the hood I also tapped the hole for my pyro and installed the probe but havent hooked up the gauges yet so I will probably get to that this weekend.

I should also note that I installed the Rip Rook's 4" downpipe and a 4" muffler. Inside the cab is not too bad at all unless you have the windows open, due to the close proximity of the stacks to your head and ears. The stack I would say are about 4 ft tall. They stick up over the cab about a foot. I went from a stock exhuast that was cut off just aft of the cab, so it made a huge difference to me. The cab does have a little more vibration then before but nothing you cant live with.

oh ok, well i was thinking about putting a set on my regular cab, but don't like them to be that high above the cab and i didn't want to run a muffler on it, so i think it would probably be a bit too loud for me in the cab with the windows up.

Only reason I put a muffler on it was because I live in an older community and wanted to take a little bite off it. I can see straight through the muffler so it is more of a resonator than muffler. I will post pictures up later so you can see exactly how it looks. I think you would really like it.

I've been trying to get a job over in Spokane with the rail companies but no luck. I like it over here but people are more friendly over there.

Nope, i live in Silverdale.

I live in a townhouse division, with a lot of older folks in it, so I try to be mindful but at 5am its hard to do anything quiet.

Without further ado:

Looks good just need to make adjustments to the left one as mentioned. Bet it sounds great. I really like the sound of my 4" straight pipe but have been thinking about stacks.
