Ok all I had to put something on for now so I made my own exhaust from the old 1 and now have nothing but straight pipe from the headers to corners of the cab!! It is loud (not as loud with open headers!!) and I put crome tips on.... The people that live around me just LOVE me.....

A Friend of mine put stacks on his 2006 f250 powerstroke, he mounted a headache rack to the bed and then clamped the stacks to it. you might beable to mount a flat strap to frontside of box and then run it to a clamp on the stack to keep from drilling into the cab.

If done well, and proportional to the truck, stacks can look pretty good. For the flappers, go to any ag store or supply place, they are readily available there, just not chrome... I have however, seen many stacks that are just huge and look silly, and hack jobs that look crappy. Fleetside tends to look a bit worse, hard to get them to look good, but on a step side, they can look better.

hey you don't "technically" need flappers if you don't like the look. You drill a hole and weld a nut on for a plug in the bottommost bend in the exhaust. The plug, which can be any bolt really, can be removed to drain the stacks of water. Do this periaodically and you're fine as far as water getting in. I personally like the look without flappers.
