New exhaust - debating stacks

Euhh...I don't know. It seems like a novel idea at first, but I have a bad feeling it's gonna get in the way at some point. If I did do stacks, they'd have to have clinkers and a flamethrower system. That'd be sweet.

I don't know. Flamethrower is a given whether it's straight out the back or up through the bed, but I'm still mulling it over right now.

Re: New exhaust - debating stacks

When building my exhaust I wanted to do the dual 2.5" into a single 3" with no muffler and bring that up on one side behind the cab, with a tractor flapper valve on top - that'd have been real sweet, couldn't do it tho cause my headers are too high for the Y-pipe to clear the underside of the tranny

Oh, just a tip, don't make the stacks like 4" in diameter, those look really retarded on non-diesel non-dually trucks - stick with 2.5" piping and slap some chrome heat shields around it.

Cool Re: New exhaust - debating stacks

I'v never seen a set of stacks on any 73-87 that looked right.

Im with the others i say dont go there.

But in the end it's your truck so do what makes you happy thats all that count's.
