Go BIG or go home. 12 inch stacks!


In all seriousness, Id go with the 7 inch stacks. I like the look of the Aussies

Versus sixes on my mega




I thinks sevens is the upper limit of where I would want to be. You dont realize how big eights are till you see em in person.....

i know a guy that has 7"s on his 24 valve and it is freakin loud, I can hear him miles away. They sure look big too! I would go with 6" stacks if i went with stacks in the bed.

5-6 is what I would (and did) do. Anything else just doesn't look proportional to our trucks.

Ohhhh how I miss that truck. If it would have been a Mega or a Quad I would have kept it, but with a family of 5 it was not practicle.

Two stacks on a Cummins looks ridiculous too. One big one looks so good and avoids the big Y in the bed that is only there to hook up two of them to one pipe. Be proud of your inline! Twin stacks are all show and no go.
