Stacks are in :)

Not sure if ya'll frequent the Superduty Forum.. Here's a link to the Stack install..

https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/7...os-inside.html


I'm still worried bout the water issue.. I put an 1/8 hole just past the flex.. The elbow wasn't the lowest point, nor did I have any pipe to extend it.. I'm going to fix it this weekend.. However I'm still curious.. How many of you actually ever had a problem? I assume the diesel has to have enough pressure to push water out.. Whats the likely hood of the entire pipe filling up with water in a rain storm.. I don't figure much?

Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid.. Other than that.. I LOVE em.. They are soooo COOL! LOL

Storm, I looked at your post in the SD-HD fourm. They sure look nice, and painting the cross pipes is a great idea. I will be looking for a pic or vid of that BEAST smokeing.

LOL.. It don't quite smoke like 7.3's do.. Thats for sure.. WOT with Race Tune lets some smoke out.. Bout the only chunk of smoke it'll throw is sitting in Park and romping the pedal..

I coated it in Ceramic Paint, however I'm redoing it.. I want Black instead of Aluminum.. They were out of the Black Ceramic.. I gotta pull it all out this weekend and redo it.. Few mishaps on Grand Rock's part.. Sent me the wrong clamps so the Stacks are raised quite a bit..

If water gets in there it will and then you start it, little black specs will form on your bed.

Not a Keystone (Good Hood) hood.. It's a Production Pronto and it sucks... A month after owning it, the Passenger Side Front Corner bowed up and now I have about 1/2" gap.. I'm about to buy a Keystone hood now.. This hood was $400 bucks and it shows in the quality.. Doesn't fit worth a crap..

I tried to find a good deal but in the end I'm going the $700 route and getting the Keystone for the simple fact everyone I know that has one fits perfect..

Thanks.. Few things to fix and change.. Hood of ALL things.. I'm thinking this go around I'm going to paint the center Silver.. So that the middle is the same silver at the bottom of my truck.. :-P If it looks bad, I'll just sand it and repaint it all black..

Kinda like this
