Well I had to put my topper on for some camping so the stacks had to come off and I needed to build a new exhaust for when I use the topper (don't worry the stack are coming back after some reworking).

So here it is

More in Webshots!

Its a true side pipe. I wasn't planning this to begin with. I was just planning to come out from under the truck at a 45 degree angle with either this turn down stack pointed down or a slash cut pipe. But as I had my dad holding it under the truck to decide which pipe I was going to use he held it up like so and we both knew what needed to be done. It was more work but it was certainly worth it!

It started life as a 5" by 36" long stack. then I got a chrome 90* salvaged from a banged up semi stack off my dads new tow rig for his 5th wheel (he bought my other 5" turn out to replace it) then about 14" of staight pipe to another 90* to meet the 5" pipe coming off the 3" down pipe. weld on some hangers and there we go. 5" side pipe looking nice!!

I saw a 50-75* EGT drop with this system as my stacks were poorly plumb by the previous owner (stock piping cut up to get tot he underside of the bed to a 3" inlet to a 3.5 inch sqaure tube to 3 inch holes cut in it where the stacks were. looked good - flowed terrible)

So its not much quiter in the cab and people with their windows down at stop light loose some hearing when I take off, plus it bounces off building and gaurd rails very nice so I can hear the turbo sing. its not stacks but it will do while the topper is on.

 

Man that looks sweet!! I had thought about putting my stacks under the truck on both sides like that. Looks good man!!

 

Looks great! I like it.

It must be loud........but I guess not bad compared to the stacks.

 

That looks like a souped up Vette with a big block!! Very cool.

 

Looks good Tim! Sounds like a real piece of work you inherited with that old exhaust setup. Glad to hear you junked it.

 

Nice job Tim, Now you have a diesel vette Roll some coal and clean the wheel.

 

I was brain storming on how to do a complete under the doors side pipe/step tube. but it just wouldn't be right without oval tubing and way more work than its worth.

Thanks guys

 

Now you need to get another avatar he he!

 

Rick told me the same thing. The stacks are coming back! gotta keep the stack up front so remember how much more I like them!

 

looks good!!! it should sound awesome too! nice job tim

 

Put them up through the cowling just infront of the windshield...lol

 

Looks awesome brother, just be nice when you smoke out those ricers........NAH!

 

looks nice, put one on the other side

 

Just run a chunk of 3" pipe off your turbo and out the passenger side fender

not quite what I was thinking but I bet it would make a statement on the street!

Steve I did run it about 3 miles with just the downpipe in place. had to go get some Subway in the middle of the job! it whistled quite nicely. The guys at the shop said it sounded like a straight piped 6.0. but it wasn't loud in the cab like a thought it might be.
