Just think we breathe that crap in! Sorry, not trying to be a hippie... I convinced myself I wanted stacks after I bought a 5" straight pipe kit. But now I have to deal with the hassle of selling that first. And actually, after reading this thread, I'm deciding whether I really should go with stacks. My truck isn't all that fast so I don't want to attract races and then go to shame. The soot seems to be a problem too. And finally, I would have to cut a hole in my bed. Probably doesn't really matter, the truck isn't new. Stacks just look way cool. But I guess a 6" tip looks cool too. Oh, and with stacks I can't see the smoke in my right mirror. Ahh.. What should I do???

 

Stacks ? Yeah right.... And I'm posta put them stacks where?

 

For me this would be the deal breaker

 

Once I saw stacks on a 2nd Gen Dodge ram dually when I was up in Yosemite. They weren't the kind that stuck out the bed, they stuck out the sides of the truck. Like sticking out the side of the truck where the running boards go. So I get up close... Turns out it was a gasser. It had the nice v8 badge on it. At that point I thought it looked stupid. So I guess a diesel with stacks doesn't look any better with stacks than a gasser to the common folk.

 

You guys are funny!

Stacks RULE! Stacks RULE! Stacks RULE!

If done right they look AWESOME! I've had guys on DTR who hate stacks tell me they look good on my truck and after seeing mine done, they may reconsider. Kinda like ask'n the ugly girl to the prom and on prom night find'n out she cleaned up to be the hottest girl in school!

 

I think they look cool and sound cool, but they are not for me. For one, the kids like to hang out in back sometimes. The realist in me says any dual exaust look isn't for me.

 

Yep they look shiny & neato so long as you keep them clean, like all the rest of the truck. See they blow the exhaust UP and away from the other cars and people behind you, instead of blowing smoke & emissions on the cars/people/pedestrians around you. Shortcomings though? Never even crossed my mind...must be something in your own conscience.

 

Thread hijack, sorry.

In a somewhat similar subject to the "big rig" appeal of stacks, I have always wondered this:

What do you guys think the appeal of an external engine air cleaner be for our trucks? Let me explain.

Imagine on the R/H fender, where the radio antennae is, if there was a somewhat protruding cylindrical "can" that housed a BHAF vertically, with either an older MACK truck style black forward facing inlet scoop or a Pete style (chrome?) raincap. Not too big, just to scale of the truck, kind of recessed into the fender. All ducted thru the R/H inner fender to the turbo, functional, grabbing fresh outside air.

It would take cutting out some factory sheetmetal, on the fender, and the hood.

Maybe this has been discussed before, just throwing out an idea.

 

i have a couple reasons, and voted dont have the money, but given enough spare $ i prob would get a set


i dont want to cut into my bed

it would be sooooooo much harder to keep out of the skinny pedal

lots of people around here already have stacks

i like blowing smoke in the faces of tailgaters and in mass drivers (you know the term im going for) faces

when i bought the truck last month it has a brand new 3.5" exhaust kit on it

i dont have the time to waste on keeping stacks clean.... i have a hard enough time keeping the truck clean

i havent done enough fuel mods to create enough smoke to make stacks useful........

 

Wow, contrary to belief, apparently the majority don't like stacks. Guess people with stacks are just as loud as their truck.

 

Voted no because they are not cheap, dont want to cut the bed on my truck and dont want to worry about rain filling the exhaust with water. They do look bas *** though

 

WELL..... you could run them on the outside of the bed and do bull haulers to stop the rain (problem solved)

 

Thats true. But i think ill stick with the 18" tip i got got coming from summit for a while

 

Bull Haulers dont look right around these parts blackdiesel.
