Hows the noise on that hood stack? Still a sweet rig man! Gotta get a flap cap on the hood stack though

You ask an interesting question lol. As far as drone the stacks were pretty well more noisy. Cruising at highway speeds the hood stack is actually quieter than they were but if I get on it better plug your ears for sure


pic at the car wash and at a cruise weekend. Some of the kids in town asked for a show

Apologies for the hijack as well. I don’t have a build thread. I try to spend as much time as I can on this truck as possible (which is not much) so it would be a slow thread for sure lol. I do enjoy them tho. I might start one for fun and share the story so far I have much planned in the future tho

Also getting rid of the downpipe was the easiest part of the job other than getting the hole right

always been better as cutting then measuring

Here it is underneath tho

I wouldn't say I'm experienced. I just follow instructions and mess up alot

OP sorry about the hijack. I dont think you can go wrong with red top or blue top. Blue top split off from red, similar to how BTS split off from John Woods transmissions.
