3-4" dp and stacks
Doing some work for the family and noticed some old stacks laying around, they arent the mitre cut like a i want but my buddy craig said you would be better off with turn-outs or flat tops with a rain stop (clacker). he said that with mitre's or and open top that rain would go down causing it to rust and smoke like crazy. what are your opinons. Also I got a three inch body lift so i didnt have to bash in firewall and it looks like i could fit a 4" would you guys recomend it, i plan on bigger turbo stage 2's hpop, and intercooler, would a four inch fit on stock turbo?? thanks so much for the help
P.S or would i be better off buying system i like the bark of the straight pipe under the cab, idk if stacks will make it louder or a system thank you!

i have 6in miters i wos worried bout water as well, so on the bottom of the elbows i drilled a small 1/4 in hole so water can run out... i like the look of turn out as well but the miters was cheap so i went that rout.... i have lots of bicks of my stacks on my page, and as far as the 4in dp i have only see 3
i have a stanless 3 in dp, in to a 5 in cat delet pipe 5in all the way to my 6 in miters... dude you can really hear the turbo now!!! my stacks could be just a bit taller but you can get to big and to tall.... dude dont be that guy!! with the miter i think its the best with bottom of miter at top of cab.. my top of miter is like an in above the cab.. from what i have found still loud but just not in the cab...

It will blow soot on your truck and anyone near it with enough rain. And if your worried get a couple buckets. I hate flappers. The sound annoys me.

sweet thank you, i think i am going with the mitre. i thought one right in the center would look cool but two looks cool as well. does anyone know of another user or have any pictures of just one down the center or any opinions. Thanks.
