you're halfway there. LoL Get a second one and put twin stacks on that thing. I have 6" stainless and it's easy to do if you can weld.

Cheap and easy way: enough reducers to bring it down to your 4", 2 90 degree elbows and clamps for all of them(maybe a little bit of flex pipe to keep it movable).

" i went under a overpass and the stack clipped the I beam"

Good Gravy!!! An overpass is at least 14 foot tall. How high was your stack?

The bed will flex on the frame. The stack is bolted to bed. You need to install a short piece of flex pipe between the elbow facing up to the bed and your existing exhaust under the truck or your exhaust will crack.

Thats pretty redneck if you have stacks tall enough to hit overpasses. What was it made of to be solid enough to almost flip the truck???

How tall were your stacks? I think any thing more than a couple inches over the cab is to tall. let alone tall enough to hit a overpass...

Well ever since i was a little kid i always wanted a pickup that looked and sounded like a Peterbilt. I mean when someone would sit in the back seat i wanted that rumble from those stacks to make them deaf far before i got to my destination!!! I figured that going with the 8 inch stacks at somewhere around 14' 6" in the air would send any big rig tuckin their tail. My truck looked like a power plant with those stacks. I spent more on that chrome then i did on the truck but it looked cool. The stacks were made out of thick walled boiler tube had about 3/4 inch thick wall. The night they so romantically met that I beam i had to call a tow truck to just get them back home because of their sheer weight. I have thought about puttin them back on my rig, the only thing it did to them was chip the chrome a little bit, but they make rattle can paint to match it , so i might touch them up and add that 100 horse back to the ole rig.
