Ok, I know you've heard this a million time. Which is better: ATS or Banks? Also would like to install stacks. What size would be best and where can I get them?

I have tried both and either way is good investment, so choose on price!

also I would go with 4inch stacks and I got exhaust pipes for my truck from a wholesale metal shop in sacramento ca. So I guess I am not much help on where to get them from, but I will look a bit.

dual 6" chrome stacks would look great. you can get them from any semi-tractor-trailer dealer or repair place. Although it maybe a little costly but it is better than putting soot all over the truck or a trailer that you maybe pulling. I'd run single 4" to get them up in to the bed then y it and put a reducer on it and slap the 6" stacks on it.

I have the ATS turbo and twin 3" stacks. ATS makes good power and twin 3" work well without costing you an arm and a leg.

I have less than 400 in the stacks and the rest of the exhaust system including the install.

ATS all the way! A single 4" stack sounds really nice too.
