Talking 7 inch stacks??????????????????????

Well, not really Just an idea.
Was wondering if I can put like a 4-5 inch stacks on a 6.9L?
Do these motors need any back pressure, or can i run these stacks
straight-NO MUFFLER WHATSOEVER I know the noise
MIGHT be an issue. But think about all those Harleys,Big rigs with no mufflers.
Any ideas as to HOW to do this? Am going to replace fleetside bed w/ A FLAT
bed, gonna run the stacks up the back of the cab Thanks for any
input you can give me.

all i can say is if you have a turbo on it, it will sound sweet.
if you don't have a turbo, it will only sound ok.

you got it all wrong. if you have no turbo it will sound sweet, if you do have a turbo it will sound ok.
I **** you not, the best sounding exhaust EVER is a true dual stack setup on NA diesels, no muffler.
Be sure to get turnouts or your truck will be nasty every time it rains and it gets loud in the cab with the echo above the cab.

Even with turn out stacks, it will still be loud enough in the cab that you will not be able to carry on a cell phone conversation while driving.

Deceleration from about 2800 to 2100 RPM the exhaust rap will rival any semi Jake brake you ever heard.

Turbochargers run only when exhaust is coming out of the engine.
Actually that is not correct, they start turning while you crank the engine to start it, and with the RPM's that they turn it takes a minute or so after the engine is off for them to stop completely.

My Dad's truck sounded SO good with a single 4" stack before he turbo'd it. Now it's just so-so.
