Man those are some crazy stakes.

I dont know if I would want to paint the stacks. I want that chrome look without paying chrome prices. lol.

I am thinking of straight piping them too. I think that would sound amazingly loud.

 

I love my 5 inch stacks they sound so good !! I started with dual 4inch and then switched to dual 5's and the tone went down to a nice rumble!! LOL love it!

 

You could always get aluminized stacks and paint them with Duplicolor's silver High Heat paint.

I considered aluminized at first (just for less "bling") but decided to go chrome because I found a pretty good deal.

 

if you look in my gallery there are pics of the 4 inch stacks on my 88 listed under "the rattletrap"

 

I think I like that. How are you running them? They look like they dont have a splitter in the bed.

I was also thinking about getting a tool box. What would be the best way to do that and the stacks? Is it possible?

 

put in a 3 inch body lift and then run the pipes up over the frame and up the corners of the bed

 

my splitter is under the truck, at the end of the transfer case skid plate. the pipes then go across the truck, to a 90º elbow up outside the frame, to another 90 pointed back. at the front of the bed, there is another 90 going up into a 3-4 adapter through the bed, and the 4 inch stacks go into the adapters.
in this rendition, the stacks are clampet to brackets on the headache rack. originally, they were bolted to the front of the bed. but that setup was a PITA to get to the nuts to put the pipes on though.

 

That's a lotta bendys ... How big is your cat inlet? ...



*wondering about backpressure*

 

[QUOTE=Blueovals&Blacksmoke;6583694]those are vinemaple, it took us almost 30 acres of land in washington, to find them that straight

Yes I can atest to the 30 acres to find just one foot of straight vine maple ( we call it DOG HAIR 'cuz it gets so thick where I hunt)...

 

those ol racks have been through hell though, we've had them since i lived in washington. so about 9 years now.

 

cat inlet??
what you talkin bout?? it's a diesel. there is no cat on a diesel

and there is no backpressure.
that is why it runs so good.
