Its getting close to May and hopefully my graduation present to myself (CTD) will be coming soon too. I want stacks in the worst way but with the way emissions laws are in this state I don't know if I should even try it. I've seen a Furd Powerjoke F-350 on the road with stacks once, don't know if it was actually from Jersey though. Passenger diesels don't get sniffed here, but I can just see the inspection drones getting all hot and bothered just looking at a set of 5" chrome pipes sticking out of the bed and citing me for an illegal exhaust mod or something. I guess I could go to private inspection and find someone that's cool about it, but there's still the possibility of being pulled over for them.

 

what exactly is ur question? whether its legal?...everyone knows that "modifyign a factory exhaust in any way is illegal" lol but then explain to me the countless numbers of trucks and cars with modded exhausts...good luck let me know what the inspection guys say in ur neck of the woods...i dont wanna jinx myself

 

I know its illegal but I want to know if anyone around here has stacks and if so do you get hassled as a result. I actually live right down the street from Auto Wurks Diesel here in Caldwell. I suppose I could stop by and ask them.

 

well i ve gone to Turner automotive (diesel guys) near my neck of the woods and they have a shop that does all the tests for them and every single one of their truck has straight pipes or stacks...so if get in good with ur diesel boys down the street im sure they'll take care of the inspection stuff for ya if u give them some business

 

Mine passed NJ inspection with them. When I put them on I managed to put them in just far enough so you can't get burnt too easily.
Even though its considered self-inspection with registration at 12,000 lbs. in NJ, I still get the silly little sticker so those nice police officers leave me alone.
This F350 your saw wouldn't happen be a white crew cab would it?

I'm from out near the Delaware Water Gap and there are quite a few trucks out my way that are running stacks.

 

ha don't be surprised at what they are gonna charge you , that shop has to be the most expensive place for anything, I think they have a rate to breath in their office. Nice guys if you have the cash, I am just over the hill from them and can't stop in anymore on accont of their prices. I would rather buy here at the dtr shop.

 

Yeah I've heard that Auto Wurks can be pretty pricey, seems appropriate for North Jersey where EVERYTHING is too **** expensive. I'm from South Jersey (Piney Power!!!) and I'm not a big fan of the Essex County area. I've seen a lot of nice trucks outside of there though. Anyway, that F350 was black, so I dunno. JD, just out of curiosity what do you mean by "self inspection?" And by the way I love it out your way, Sussex County is definitely stack country and bet you don't get any dirty looks either...

 

There's a provision in the motor vehicle laws that says vehicles registered over 10,001 lbs. do not require an inspection sticker.

I have the paper work in all of our trucks in case we get stopped and given a hard time about it. http://www.state.nj.us/mvc/cleanair/..._schedule.html

I still get the dirty looks, unfortunatly. My dad intentially smoked out a female student from the school he works at one morning for tailgating him. That'll get some dirty looks for sure.
