Giant Stacks
Today while I was out doing errands, I saw a late model Dodge crew cab dually with the largest diameter stacks I have ever seen. This guy must have had 10" diameter stacks--okay maybe they were 8". Anyway they were massive and he was running twins. It sounds like overkill , but I think it looked pretty cool. I think it matched the truck because it was a dually with extra wide tires so proportionately it looked better than say a single wheel drive model.Has anyone seen trucks with this set-up? I'm sure those puny 4" or 5" systems don't just hook up to those. Maybe those big stacks are just covers that hide the small 4-5 in. pipes? Anyway who makes these? Thanks again!

personally, i think anything over 6 inches on a full size truck looks stupid, especially when they have a 5 inch muffler outlet, and then increase it to 8 or 10 inches. so to answer your question, 8 or 10 inch pipes on a pickup looks idiotic.
but that don't stop the dodge owners around here in the bigger cities of new jersey from putting 10 inch stacks and 5 foot air dam wings on their single wheel pickups.

Big stacks are just like oversized exhaust tips. Why put a 4" tip on your tailpipe if the rest of the system is only 3", because you can. My exhaust is 2.5" duals with 5" stacks. The stacks give it a different sound because they act like echo chambers and help to amplify the sound. I am seeing more trucks with stacks, but most of them are so short you dont hardly notice them.
