at work, on anything that's straight or miter cut, we put coffee cans on them. It's not as critical on a pickup, where you have a bunch of piping under the truck, but on a machine where the stack comes straight up out of the exhaust manifold or turbo, you really don't want it to fill with water. You don't want to encourage corrosion in the turbo, or even, possibly, hydraulic lock in the engine if very much gets down past an open exhaust valve.

Now from what i understand about exhaust... i thought that big pipes= good power in the high end power. and on the smaller side, say a 4 inch pipe or so would be better flow end torque. Im i just confused or is that right?
Oh yeah... DUDE!!! can i have your truck? i know you dont really want it anymore... lol

i never thought about the future planning up grades for more HP, or the exhuast temps. but i think a 6 in pipe is good for you. but for me, i like all the towing power i can get, we pull a 30 foot horse trailor loaded with horses or cows... so low end is more important the high end. but i still like your truck! can wait till Ford is puttin the cummins in their trucks!

I was checking out your pics, thats a pretty trick splitter box you have for the stacks. Did you make or have it made, or did it come with a kit or something? I also didn't see any mufflers, did you miss them in the pics or is the sound as mother nature intended?
