Need help deciding on exhaust/stack setup
I cant decide. lol Ive narrowed it down to a few options. I want to run 4" TB, and be painted black either way i go.
1: Run the exhaust out in front of the rear tire at either a 90 or 45 degree anlge, with either a single 6-8in tip or two 5-6in tips
2: stacks, either single 7-8in straight up, not in the corner and not quite center, but where if just put a 90 on the exhaust. Or duels 6-7in.
Miter cut either way.
I just cant make up my mind, if I run it out the side I dont have to cut a whole in the bed, but it wont stand out as much.lol Single stacks have been growing on me and I might try one out since my truck is SRW. I drive a big red pickup, cuz i like to draw attention.lol Just dont wanna go to overboard.

To me two looks better on a DRW. I wasent a big fan of single at first, but its grown on me. If i did a single it would be close to where the "post" is on the headache rack, just to the pass. side of the back window, so a little off center and it would be shorter then the cab, i might even cut it shorter then the lights. BTW Adam, how do you like the hybrid turbo and 90s? I was lookin at the hybrids or Elites SS. Do you wish you went bigger with the sticks? Hows the smoke with that setup? Sorry for all the Q's, just tryin to get my wishlist all lined up.lol

i think my set up is perfect for what i am going for. i'm not all about major power and pushing the limits to the point that you loose reliability. i actually did my mods along the way of owning the truck and when something would brake i would want to put in an aftermarket part that was better than stock, and most of the time it doesn't really cost to much more than if i bought the stock parts from a dealer. anyways i think my injectors/turbo are a great combo. it makes about 450hp and i don't have to worry about EGT's all the time like i would if the truck had larger sticks. the smoke is there forsure especially down low before the turbo spools but i can drive it and it hardly blows any smoke if i take it easy. also on the highway the turbo seems to boost at a steady psi and pulls really hard.

I'm not a big fan of single or dual stacks. I have seen allot of them around here, and none of them sound near as good as allot of the aftermarket single or dual exhaust. I would go for sound not so much looks. I would purchase other goodies for my truck for looks other then stacks. JMO

IF you ever decide to (or have to) sell, stacks would be a BIG "Don't buy me" IMHO 
Exiting in front of the tire will put soot on the rear quarters
How about duals out the back at a 45 from the rear pumpkin to the corners ?
Good performance AND stands out, is not the norm...

I would like duels out the back alot, its just im tryin to save a little by doin it myself, and i dont have a bender for 4in pipe. I would like to keep it under 400 bucks. I dont need stainless or anything, just aluminized would be fine for me since i want to try usin high temp black paint on it, and road salt isnt an issue here.
