They will probably make the turbo spool better.
Yes do make a guard so nothing can slide or blow against the pipes i the bed.
I have seen several water coolers, plastic tool boxes and lunch boxes ruined when the slid against the pipes while driving.
And I have seen a bale of straw burning when it slid against the pipes.
Big load, big hill, those pipes can get to be 7 or 8 hundred degrees.

will be doing a single 5" stack on mine this spring. got 2 of em on ebay for $20 shipped, If I remember correctly they are 5 foot long, figure I can cut em down if need be so they don't go past the top of the cab. Thinking mine will be straight piped

Maybe it was just me, but I cut the glass pack off my truck and man what a difference, more power, better fuel mileage, and alot less engine rumble in the cab.
Those glass packs will create back pressure on your engine. They sound good on a gasser but I'd skip 'em on your diesel.

thanx for posting that link El Camino, very informative!!
I especially appreciate the diagram. I myself am going to run a single 5", but wasn't really sure where I was going to use the flex pipe.
