To those of you with stacks. I read recently on another thread that a gentleman was tired of soot blowing onto his roof and hood after a wash, or a rain shower. Is this common? Anyone else experience this often?
Thanks, Colby.

 

A friend of mine had 6 inch miters on his white 95' and it did that real bad after a big rain, soot stains were all over the cab and bedsides, dont remember any on the hood though. He has a black truck with 6 inch turnouts now so you dont see it anymore

 

Yeah, shoulda used that fancy "search" feature thingy before posting this.
Just did that, and it seems it's part of having stacks. Thanks.

 

Not so much... I've got 5" Aussie style stacks and I do notice it every once and awhile along my bed... but its not very much at all. Its mainly on the back half of the bed anyways.

 

I think it probably depends on mods done to truck also. Mine is turned up quite a bit and if I want it to, the truck will roll the coal. I have a soft bed cover and it gets soot on it. I have 5" straight exhaust going into a 6" mitre stack. I had to cut the stack down because it was too tall. The previous owner had it higher than the cab to keep the soot off the back window. I had to shorten so I could fit the truck in my garage.

Hope that helps.

 

NOPE, my fenders don't ever get those little black spots that inevitably burn permanently into the silver paint.

 

My truck is black so I don't notice them, but can feel the spots after washing. I clay barred it though and most of it went away.

 

if you let the pipe warm up a bit before driving, its not a problem. My truck is also black so i just might not notice it at all. HOWEVER, knowing that they could come, after a rain of anykind, I let the truck warm up and evaporate the wetness in the stacks themselves before driving, or just drive slow while it heats up. Use coffee cans as a cover or convice "06 diesel" to make you a set of stack condoms

 

I've already thought about getting some viynl or something and make my self some stack socks as I like to call'em.

 

I started mine up the other day w/o plugging in when it was about 15 deg out, when it finally started it puked soot all over my sis's Chrysler 300. Once the pipe warms up, like someone else said it doesn't seem to do it as bad, but it does help having a black truck, I can't notice unless I look close at it.
