I tried to post the picture on here I sent you (of course, to no avail). I was gonna take a 'stupid looking' poll. Oh well.

Let's have this "poll"

Kris, you can post this 'pic' Jet sent you and let the general public around here speak their mind about them.

I don't really mean 'stupid' but they're a little much.

Hopefully it won't be too bad with my SWB and Toolbox.. (praying)

You know Storm I think the pipe in the bed even for the 6" stack is still 5" then the stacks go from 5" to 6" I am not positive on that as I have the 5" but Kris would know for sure if that is the case you would have to cut the top off and remiter the top to get this look or cut out a section and weld it back to the bottom either way. Because the 36" stack length is going to stick over the cab. I do like that look though and that is one of the reasons I went with the straight cuts to was to cut them down to the cab height but after installing them I liked the look of just a little sticking up over the cab not to much just a little.

on the Grand Rock kit, the T-Pipe is 5" up to 6" mount for the Stacks.. The Stacks slide into the T-Pipe so it can be chopped at the bottom to lower the stack.

Ok other way, Stack goes to 5".. Hmm.. Wonder if I got enough to cut.. Grr this ain't cool.. I'll find out when they show up what I can do

That's cool I was not sure I have Grand Rock as well but the 5" stacks I know a lot of the other exhaust stack kits go up to the size in the stack but the bed pipe stays the same so the stack tapers down at the bottom of the stack itself.

Edit: I think you just figured out what I was talking about.

Yeah I'm thinking the 6" tapers to 5".. Which could pose a massive problem for me :-\

I really don't want them sticking above my cab..

If you know someone with a metal chop saw(table type mount) you can measure the length you want and set the saw at the proper angle for the miter and cut them down the saw will cut them clean I would wrap some tape around the area to be cut to protect the chrome. The chop saw should cut them fairly quick as well and you get them cut down and mitered at the same time with it.

Prob 2" or so needs to come off for the highest point to be flush.. I won't know until they get here to be exact..

Yeah there's a clamp around stacks that bolts to top of bed to hold them.. I'll weld the T pipe to the bed by the hole where I cut so it doesn't bounce around.. I think I can pull it off.. If not I'll just recut them LOL

You dont have to get all worried. If you want it lower, then instead of cutting a 4" hole in the bed, and setting the small 4" inlet of the splitter through and then resting the lip on the bed where it goes to 5", cut a larger place out of it, and then use the u-bolt clamp that attaches the left side to mount that to the bed floor. It will lower it 2-3" and it looks pretty snazzy. Jeremy has a picture of how he did his. He cut half of his bed floor out though.
