Yup, finally did it... tight turn 3.5 inch pipe through a glasspack muffler and out of the hood.






less than $100 invested, now i just gotta get the hood looking a little better. i would also like to find a smaller rain cap.

EDIT: forgot to even mention. It's not even as loud as some stacked trucks i've ridden in. driving with the drivers window down is not problem, no smell. i've not had the passenger down but it's a pain to get back up. i will continue to update, especially if a local officer has a problem with it

 

1 thing comes to mind, dueling banjos. sorry LOL, why did you do that???

 

1. the one i have on there is very restrictive
2. when i get the ht3b on there it will go anyways
3. dueling banjos? do you see the rest of the truck, it's covered in rhino liner, believe me, this fits the truck! lol
4. bored?
5. i like different
6. do i have enough reasons yet? oh, i like the way my wife rolls her eyes at me!

 

I like it! So simple. I hope it doesn't blacken the windshield. Fun to watch the smoke and the cap go flap flap. Will the hood open without hitting the cap?

That Rhino body is cool too. The paint on my '93 was just flying off and That seems lie a good solution.

Boy I sure thought you were joking ROFLMAO

 

WOW!!! That is soooo cool! Yer like a trendsetter or something dude! But tell me, How does the hood open/close with that thing on there? And, can you give me/us an underhood pic of that baby?

Thanks man!

 

Just be careful-rain can get in those, Ive got a raincap and a stack on my Ford and after a rain, my truck looks like a giant camo whale out there. Very cool hoodstack though!!!

 

I am impressed. So many talk about doing and so few really get'er done. Now what do the local law enforcement fellows think about that. I know in Virginia I wouldn't get very far before one of our boys in uniform would be asking for my donation to the Policeman's Ball.

 

That's the ultimate in bad boy coolness! I love it!

 

Why would you get a ticket for that. Does your state have that restrictive of exhaust laws.

 

I like it, especially with the rain cap.

 

timb, i think technically the federal laws for exhaust state that it must terminate above/next to/ or behind the cab. i could throw a 2 ft extention easily to get it above the cab but in the right mood an officer could easily give me a ticket for obstructing my vision. so we'll see. i've talked to a few and they didn't seem to care that's why i'm giving it a shot.

The muffler has 3.5 inlet/outlet but the center if the glasspack is 5inch. i made the opening in the hood 6inch and the hood will open about 3/4 of the way before it would come in contact with the stack. the first gen hood sort of lifts straight up with the way the "hinges" are set up, towards the top of the travel the back of the hood swings more sharply to the front. if i could have gotten in about 2 inches lower the hood probably would have opened without hitting anything. i believe it will open all the way pushing a little on the stack but i have to line the hold in the hood with something first so i don't scratch the paint off the stack.

 

You really did it...

I would love to do the same thing with a spare hood. Can you see flame out the hood-stack if you get on it at night?

 

haha Tha is definitely different, but U have to admit, given the thread title, "15 inch exhaust! " I was expecting to click in here and see some sort of spackle bucket looking 15" diameter stacks

 

I was thinking pony keg tip. lol
