Stacks or not?

[Smokin_Monster]

I liked Big Bad Dodge's stacks so much I bought them from him!

... . I just cant see giving up 2 foot of bed space, and cutting big holes in my bed.

Ditto on that!

Naw

If you put stacks on, do it right, 8" minimum, turnouts, and two foot above the cab... No, I wouldn't do it, but, I still like the look. .

Doesn't happen often, but I have to agree with CF. :-laf $$$ was the only thing that kept me from getting 8" stacks.

Fresh Install

I JUST installed (less than 24 hours ago) a set of REALLY short 5 inch miter cuts on the 92. The top of the stack is just even with the top of the (rear) window glass.



I had removed the four inch "side pipe" exiting in front of the right rear tire.



The stacks areWAY LOUDER THAN I HAVE EVER HEARD ANY EXHAUST IN MY LIFE!!! Boy do I mean LOUD. Head splitting/hear piercing LOUD. I cannot believe it. Just about makes me ill.



I will be driving with ear plugs in for sure and I only drove it to town and back with out my fathers 10K boat/trailer. :{



But they sure look and deliver consentrated smoke directly onto the hood of trailering motorists :-laf

I like the them on other CTD's but I wouldn't do it to mine.

Well had the 5" miter cut stacks in my old truck and removed them after it was totaled. Said I was not going to stack new truck,but I put them in the garage and not in the shed like I originally said. Well this coming Saturday guess what lol they are going in :-laf. I think they will sound sweet with the 6spd, don't get me wrong they sounded great with the auto, but pipes always sound better with a manual trans. Just my 2 cents.

Hmmm, how about the side exhaust style? I just really saw my first one, on a 3rd gen at work. It sounded great. I never even considered that.



I think some of the trucks with stacks look great, but I guess they aren't for me. I do like the competition style single stack through the hood though.

 

[Cummins Pilot]

I bought Scrappy's 2nd gen and after the six hour drive home the stacks were gone. I like them but I need the room. I think they look better on flatties rather than box beds. Though when thick black smoke is rolling back out of them it all looks good.

Stacks on a 2WD?

Right now I have a 4" straight pipe that turns out before the rear axle and has a 6" Silverline tip on it that reaches out. It is pretty loud and whistles at all times - there is an echo off everything it seems!

Today I spent time cleaning my rear rim of soot. So, I probably will look at other options... either send it out the back corner, or stacks.



I am shopping for tires now for my 2WD. Would like to sit higher.

Would stacks look foolish on a 2WD? Hey, I'm all about an impressive sound and smokin'. I do smoke a bit when gettin' on it in overdrive.

Any tire suggestions?

2WD w/ Stacks

The look real bad if they are sticking way up and out like most 4X4 trucks do. A 2WD simply isn't proportional to having them... untill I caught up with the Mass Diesel Drag 2WD.



I simply did the same thing and looks wonderful on a 2WD.

Thanks for the pix of your truck. That's indeed different... looks great! I'm not sure about stacks just yet. Maybe the dualed out route will work.

 

[IC Smoke]

I enjoy the sidepipe but I went with 5" turnouts for IRP, it looked ok but I didnt really like the way the truck looked, so after returning from IRP I put them in storage, I think Miters would look better on my truck. SOOoooo Im stackin it for IRP again.



smoking out ricers next to you is GREAT with a side pipe but stacks are cool as well. and I cant run em both because it would look just weird. Oh well im keeping my options open haha



for sale 5" turnouts in near new condition (5 days used)

[Smokin_Monster]

I like my new ones! Thanks Scott!

 

[Greenleaf]

That's a nice picture. Who ever took it timed it right.



I included a picture of the Boot-T that I made to attatch the narrow uprights.

[RHARVEY]

This sounds better than any 4" exhaust that I have ever heard. Does help to have twin turbos... and NO STINKING MUFFLER. No drone what so ever! These are 6" miter cuts ... . and may be replaced by 7" miter cuts someday. .

Bottom line, stacks just make it look like you are playing "Big Truck. "

 

[bmoeller]

So? I drive a big truck most of the time. Still like stacks. Besides, they sound better than the 5" straight exhaust I had before.

 

[Cattletrkr]

I can't give my opinion w/o being rube to some of you, but I'm gonna do it anyway. I am yet to see a pic of stacks on a factory bed that looks anything other than cheesy... especially the close together ones. I love stacks on a flatbed. If I ever were to put a flatbed on mine, I'd stack it at the same time. Not sure what they're called, but the curved tops, pointing straight back. Those are cool.
