Exhaust help!

Ok so my truck's exhaust is swiss cheese. So I'm looking into what exhaust I want to get and what will fit and i would love to put stacks on the truck but I have a gas truck not diesel so I am wondering it it's possible to put stacks on a gas truck? and if i did would it sound good and look good?

Yes it is possible. What size motor do you have on this truck? In order to put stacks on this truck your going to have to cut a hole in your bed to bring the exhaust up. Sound is a personal preference. In my opinion you cant be flowmaster 40 series dual exhaust. Looking good is also a personal preference. I am not usually much of a fan of it but there are some trucks that look pretty good with it. Look at your junk yard post I put down some info about exhaust in that one.

I don't know if I'd ever do stacks on a gas truck, but one thing a friend of mine did was put sidepipes on his lifted '86 chevy. Actually looked really good. Had the guards on it like the old corvette style pipes.
