I saw a powerjoke tonight with square stacks lol. They were like 6" square box they were cut and rewelded to make them look like turnouts or bull haulers. They were made into a headache rack with kc lights on top.

 

Yuck!

 

Weird. Did the guy have no clue as to aesthetics? I guess not. There's ugly, and then there's UGLY! What makes it worse is he probably thought he had the coolest lookin' truck EVER!

 

theirs a guy out here were im at that made his stacks look like bull horns. they look like turnouts with a set of 90 degree turns then another set of 90s. there probably around five foot in height. its ridiculous looking.

 

People just amaze me sometimes.

 

He was driving a ford...

 

And it was straight piped I hate the way they sound without a muffler. Just aint got the same sound a diesel should.

 

Well it all depends on how its done, but from what you describe its sounds tacky. Ive seen a 2nd Gen welding rig that had all square tubing on it. The guy had took some 6" square tubing and mitered it so that the cross section was diamond shaped. Looked real good, but was done with taste.

To me it sounds like a sewing machine.

 

I WAS going to go there, but it seems like such a cheap shot.

And not ALL Fords are bad. That new one has a heck of an engine, but I can't wait to see what Cummins pulls out of the bag for the '12 model.

 

I remember seeing one utube vid with a guy on his ford with dryer vent tubing.. pretty funny.

The diamond cut square tubing on a welding truck sounds pretty neat actually.

 

1BAD93,

That guy lives out past me. It's a blue truck. I laugh everytime I see him. I don't know how he drives anywhere with those things. I'd be afraid of hitting trees, overhangs, etc...

 

I think it would be cool to have a set of stacks that tie together like a bow tie and the smoke exits out the short ends

 

How about a set of dual stacks that combined back into a single stack... That would be sweet.

 

I saw a first gen this morning on the way to work. Clean truck except he had 1 stack right behind the passenger seat, about 4 inches in diameter and it was about 4 feet higher than the cab. It looked truly hideous.

 

The whole stack doubling as a headache rack sounds like sort of a cool idea, but yeah, it has to be done just right, and I doubt he pulled it off, lol. I've seen a couple guys back in my hometown with some real dandys. One guy has an old pos chevy gasser with 5-6" sq. tube, and not light duty tubing either. Another old junker chevy gasser has chain link fence post stacks...and not even close to straight, you would think you could at least eyeball it, one is pointing one way, the other, prolly 10 deg. off in each direction.
