Ok.. Who has stacks?? Photos.. I'm trying to get some pics together to show the wife.. She wants stacks on our truck but doesn't know what kind she wants.. I need some pics to show her straight cut mitre cut and so on..

Did you guys split the pipe under the box or in the box.. do you get lopsided smoke if you don't split in the middle of the box but rather come up one side like I've seen some of the kits do??

5" or 4"???


Any advice you can give me..

While we are at it, I'd like to know if people run mufflers with stacks and how loud they are (with/without muffs) in the cab.

Blygy: where is Edson ?

 

I've ran 2 different mufflers, and ended up going straight piped. I have 5" stacks t'ing from the middle of the bed. I have a few pics in my photogallery. I've changed my truck up alot, and I've found that flat-top stacks are louder than turnouts. But there's nothing like the sound, I think it sounds GREAT, way better than just a 4" straight pipe under the bumper, that's for sure.

 

Edson is west if Edmonton Alberta Canada.

John.. How did you deal with frame clearance to get it to come out in the middle of the box???

The "T" part is above the bed. I did not cut the box rail, so the piping is about 4" from the back of the box.

 

You gotta have Miter cuts. Split in the bed..

Try here hotroddiesel.ca Or take a look at my gallary, mine is a 2nd gen though, I think I am going to raise mine back up another 6"

 

5" miter cut stacks, up through the middle of the bed with no muffler.

Towing can get noisy, to the point of not being able to hold a conversation in the cab depending on the weight, speed, and so forth. Around town driving, not bad at all. On the highway, it doesn't bother me.

If you are really serious, maybe looking up someone in your area with a stacked truck for a ride would be in order.

5" is pretty much the way to go due to parts availability and so forth. Not to mention that 5" "looks" proper on the trucks IMHO. Also, you can always add a muffler or resonator at a later date if the sound proves to be too much.
