4" Stacks through the bed, and the ATS snail and down pipe, this weekend. I will post pictures when done. Cheaper, I bought the in pipe mufflers, but don't plan on using them unless it sounds like crap... I will let ya know.

I guess I misunderstood.
hougie,
The YellowJacket website lists the max temp as 60 degrees centigrade.
60 C = 140 F
Your stacks will be on fire the first time you pull a hill.
Temps in the 700 or 800 degree range are not out of the question.
Rain caps are fine, but they sure do make a lot of noise.

I have the bull hauler stacks on my truck and I love them. They are straight pipe 5", and the Banks sidewinder gives them a rediculous whistle.
I was going to run the stacks out side of my bed just like you were talking about because I have a dually as well. I was worried about getting to hot on the paint but I have seen them done like this after I put my stacks in the bed. They do look pretty neat outside of the bed, if you have a dually.
I have a picture of a crew cab dually 2wd F-350 with stacks outside of the bed on my computer but I don't know how to get it to show up here. I will try to put it in my gallery.

I'm going to take some pictures of my truck this weekend (if it is sunny). I'm way overdue to update my avater.
I was thinking of installing my wife's copy of PhotoShop on my laptop and then taking a picture of my truck and the picture of those side pipe out of the Whitney catalog and seeing if I couldn't "PhotChop" them onto the picture of my truck - just to see how it will look....

Well now you got me thinking about stacks as well. I'd like them outside of the bed since I use the bed quite a bit.
Anyone ever see them on a regular cab single wheel aft (non-dually)?
I was also wondering if I could put a drain hole at the low point, drain the ice, snow and water? Is that neccessary?
Heat might make it impossible to drain. Just thowing it out there.

I've always been torn on stacks, I mean on one hand they sound awesome and they can look cool...but at the same time, they're pricey (compared to a regular exhaust system), they can also look gaudy and weird, and you have to cut a hole in your bed if you do them like most people do.

I bought my stack from ebay "chromeroom". $60 a piece, and $100 worth of 3" pipe, bends, mufflers, etc. $160 for a complete package, not all that expensive. I have a steel flatbed, so if i want a change in the future, I can just weld a cover over the hole, wouldn't be able to notice.

that's sweet! think it's a good look and can't believe it would be THAT loud, especially if you're moving on. LOL seriously, that looks really do-able to me and shouldn't be too hard to plumb in and brace.

I have a picture in my gallery under the file "other fords" with a red crew cab dually with stacks outside of the bed. looks pretty good to me. I can't get it in a post thought so it will show up here. There is also a picture of a crew cab dually bronco and an all wood (no paint or airbrushing) ford ranger.
