Raised Intake//Exhaust
I was wondering if anyone noticed any preformance changes with a snorkel and smoke stacks.
I plan to put both on. I suppose the intake would depend on the size. But how small is TOO small?
And do smoke stacks effect preformance at all? Right now my truck has a slim to none exhaust system. From the manifold it goes to a brand new muffler and then nothing. No pipes period. I want to go straight up with a smoke stack style kind of thing to keep water from getting in.

I dont see stacks hurting performance, unless there to big. If you want the big look for the stacks, take your regualar exhaust tubing run it up like a stack, then stick the big stacks over it, letting the exhaust pipe end, say a foot before the end of the stack and you should be good to go, dont weld up the bottom of the stack either it will catch water and mud then rust out your stack and exhaust.
As for the intake. I dont know what the plans for the truck are, sounds like a trail mud truck in the works, any ways. I dont know much on snorkels, but i know that there are people that run the intake through the firewall and into the glove box, thats where they have there filter ellement, I would say a 4-5 inch pipe would be more than enough.

I don't think i'm going to put it into the firewall. I'm trying my best to make it the best trail truck I can, but its still my daily driver. My ONLY vehicle anymore.
But i'm modifying everything i've had a problem with. Smashed my bumpers, got heavy duty bumpers.
And now i'm working on intake and exhaust.

well idk about tubing or whatever for a snorkel, but i see alot with a scoop facing forwards, it kinds looks like a big catch for mud and water, i would think you would want it turned around, just my thoughts on a snorkel.
