I have turnouts on my 02 long box & do like the look, IMO I think on a short box miter would sure look nice. Just my thought.

Miter's win my vote, just be careful when it rains, soot sucks... .

 

[HowardC]

I agree with Holman... when it rains you will have soot everywhere!!!!

 

[wildmanben]

or become religious in using stack hats.

I agree with Holman... when it rains you will have soot everywhere!!!!

where would the soot come from? just leaks in the exhuast system? or blown out the second you make some boost?

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

It blows out as soon as you start the truck. My vote is straight cut.

 

[HowardC]

The soot comes out after you start it. It wont be a problem as long as it doesnt rain. I have a buddy with them and his white truck usually looks like a Dalmatian after it rains.

I have heard that you can drill holes in the elbows to let the rain water out. But, I pulled up beside a truck that either had a leaking joint or too big of holes and it had an irritating putter patter at idle probly worse at boost.

Any new ideas?

I see chrome room offers the Ts elbows and all not just the chrome anymore bout to take the plunge.

My local muffler shop has a 4" aero turbine the short one that has been sitting on the display for ever. The guys there said they would sell it at cost to move it and see how it sounds. So Im throwing that into the mix to kill the drone and hopfully help egts by 50 or so not that I need it or anything just curious to see if the claims are true and have heard that the aeros sound good on diesels.

I have the aero turbine with the resonater in it and have 5" stacks, I like the sound you should be happy with it.
