Pretty much what tnt said lol. I have not had a problem with the water going down them gets a couple little black specs on the side sometimes but it okay, because when it rains here the roads become a mud bog basically so i have to wash it anyways.

it seems to me there you can go with a cheaper lower section of the stacks its just a flex and belt welded pipes. the only part that would cost money is that stacks themselves. whats a good site to get the parts.

Alright ill tell my stacks story.....
When i bought the truck I was planning on not putting stacks on, i liked my 8ft box. They grew on me to the point where i had to have them. I couldnt take it anymore, my buddy had a set of 5" turnouts i traded for an edge EZ. So i got the stacks put needed the piping. What I ended up doing was going to a big rig shop and getting 10' of 5" pipe, a 1.5' of flex, 3 90* 5" elbows, 5 band clamps, 3 u bolts. The trick is having someone who can weld, and has a band saw. We measured the 5" pipe, got it so it had 2" away from the bed. Then we cut it and made sure it was perfectly in place so that we could drill the hole in the bed for the 5" pipe to go down to the exhaust. Heres the tricky part, where your T would normally go(note the T is 100$ at least for a 5"), you make it. Its not hard to make, time consuming but not hard. You can figure the rest out on how to make the piping.
Now for the actual stacks, Ebay sometimes has them cheap. You want to call a place called Chrome Depot in Ohio, ask them how much for "seconds" seconds have minor blemishs in them. My 7's are seconds, and ill give anyone 10$ to find whats wrong with them. They even came with the 5" reducer welded on to it. My entire 7" mitres cost me around $500 to installed. $330 for the stacks themselves, and another 170$ worth of pipe and that other crap i mentioned earlier. Its much cheaper to just make that T yourself.
