Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Stacks with plastic bed liner

[RKraft]

Was thinking of putting stacks on truck in next couple of weeks. How hot do they get? I have the plastic bed liner in now I am assuming it will have to be removed but just wondering? If you can please give your impute I would be grateful and thank you.

I would assume if you cut the hole for your bedliner 1" bigger then the Dia of the stacks that would give you plenty of clearance to protect it from radiant heat. . The exhaust on one of my trucks touches the spare tire due to clearance issues, and after 3 hour trips, there is no visible damage to the tire at all. HTH...

Yes I was planning on cutting at least 1" around hole. It will not do anything where it sits on top it will be pipe not box style. Thank you for your reply.

I didn't trim mine back any and haven't had any problems. I've ran 22hrs straight in it and although you didn't want to touch the exhaust it left no clues of melting the bedliner, it is less than an inch from the pipe where it comes through the bed.

If it was me I would cut it the same and let it melt it back. It prob wont be more than a 1/4"
