Side pipes as stacks
Whats your guys's opinions on how it would look if I got some side pipes and altered them to fit for some stacks. Jegs has a set of 2 1/2" side pipes up to 60" long. If I mounted them vertically behind the cab, would they look ok?

I dunno, the Lil' Red was a sweet truck, stacks are a good look on a stepside box or a flatdeck, I don't really care for them on a standard pickup box though. I would find a place that wrecks semis and get a set from them.

Imo, on a flatbed it wouldnt look too bad. Good luck in your search. Some 6" or bigger stacks should give you a really deep tone.

Yeah, some of them peterbuilts have like 8" on them around here. I thought about hanging some of them under my bumper for tailpipes.

My grandpa was a master welder for Riker mufflers (truck stacks and exhaust systems out of Toledo, Oh) for a long time, he's still got some connections, so he might be able to get me a set of custom ones for dirt cheap.

I like the stacks in the regular beds as long as they're done right. There's a guy around here that has a s10 with HUGE 6" stacks in the bed. They sit about a foot or so above the cab and look absolutely rediculous.
On the other hand, there's a real nice 77 F150 regular bed with smaller stacks and it looks awesome.
I'm hoping to get the side pipes from my friends 67 corvette. He wants under-carrige exhaust and will give me the pipes if he does the swap.

I have a set of 5" by 60" stacks I will be putting on my F-250 hopefully this weekend. I got them from e-bay for about $130. The peterbilt dealer wanted $250 each. If you look for the chromeroom store on e-bay, you will find them. I am paying to have them professionally installed though, should be pretty loud with no mufflers echoing through those big pipes.

stacks
if its a diesel, stack it. ive got a 6" turnout on my 83 f-250 6.9 diesel, my 97 powerstoke is stock. but if its a gas dont do it. that would be lame. if you have a stack it should be able to blow a big cloud of black smoke. thats what they are there for.
