i have made roughly 9 stack systems on all brand diesel trucks, every one i have made work perfectly . the "T" and "Y" pipes that i have made all have separation plates inside the Y's and T's , so basically it is 2 separate chambers . so when the exhaust enters the T or Y it gets distributed into both pipes . And to the guys that say it looks fake ,you know what they say about opinions right , I THINK IT LOOKS COOL AS HELL .

I'm also curious as to why only one side is working.

I dont recall him asking for opinions on his exhaust setup, whatever floats your boat is what counts. That aside, I have no idea whatsoever as to what would cause this...only way i see this is if almost 100% of the exhaust flow was going through one side, and it might create a pull of air in through the other stack. But i dont see how thats possible unless you really messed up your Y pipe.

Is it possible that the Y is tilted one way allowing the exhaust to escape out the one that raises the most first? That could allow for it to start siphoning from one side, especially if one pipe gets hotter than the other. It would draw exactly like a hot chimney.
