2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Show me your Stacks!

[telliott]

I'm gonna get some but having trouble deciding what size/style. thought maybe a few visual ideas might help!

single cabs look best with miters IMO... if it's a DRW, you can get away with turnouts. I hope you're prepared for lots of headaches!!!!

I like the look of the mitre cut, but not the function. They appear to allow rainwater in the pipe. That's why I went with turnouts. Even they let some water in, so when parked and expecting a storm, I put milk jugs over them too keep the water out. My exhaust guy wasn't going to put a muffler on the system, but I insisted and it still sounds good, but it's tolerable to passengers and bystanders alike. There is one muffler coming off of the turbo downpipe and splitting into two. The stacks themselves are 4" by 5 feet long and I got them at the local Freightliner dealer. Good luck.

By the way, I know you probably weren't asking for pics of them outside the bed, but it works with a dually. I was actually trying to copy the Lil' Red Express Truck Dodge built in the late '70s and was able to come up with a way to do it. I'm sure you were looking to put yours in the bed. Another reason I didn't want to put them in the bed is that they take up room I would otherwise use to haul stuff. This way I have the room and they don't get banged up by firewood, etc.
