Need opinions on stacks...

Well, assuming I don't get my *** shot or blown up while in Iraq this Jan-Oct 2009, I want to do some mods/upgrades when I get back and (hopefully if the wife doesn't spend it) have some cash ready to spend;

- 17* HPOP
- Garrett GTP38R bb turbo
- bellowed up pipes
- stacks

Now I kinda like the Aussie tips from Grand Rock http://www.grpipes.com/GrandRock_2007.pdf (pages 16-22) but am between those and the mitre cuts. I don't like the bull haulers though those things are just a little too lengthy for my tastes.

I'd like to hear from everyone, to kinda get a feel of what ya'll like, and what you think might look better on a red Dually.

Thanks!

I AM a big fan of Mitre cuts dually or otherwise. I think they look the best if you ar going dual stacks. I would go at least 6 inch but prefer the 7's.

I like bull haulers the best on a dually. I like the aussie stacks on a SRW. Everybody has mitre's.....might as well do something a little different.

I think the Aussie stacks look like you had some sweet mitre cut stacks, and then drove like a new Dogde owner and hit something and bent them up. Mitre's are simple and clean looking; Aussies look like leftover parts put to use. Obviously I'm in the minority, but you asked.

i'd only ever get stacks if i really didn't plan on towing anything... but then, why have the truck? there was a recent thread about having to clean off a boat, then stories of dirty travel trailers.... I'm all for a cool ride, and really do like the look of some 5" or 6" mitres, but not if it makes everything else filthy & look like a turd

I'd go with the Miter cuts but you might watn to look up the new black chrome stacks, I saw an installation article on them in a magazine and they are awesome. Good luck over there, come back safe, and Thanks.

I'm with Brendan -- I don't care for 'em at all. Except maybe on big dually long bed, then I'd get turn-outs. But even then, that's iffy. I'd be PISSED the first time I had to clean soot off something I pulled (especially that shiny new flats boat I want when I move back to FL!!)...

I want to get 5" aussies for my work truck!!!! I think aussies look best on a DRW, miters on a SRW truck, and turnouts are for 79 f-250's.
