Fender Smoke stacks?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm just getting crazy Ideas in my head as I usally do.... Has anyone ever thought of or heard of or even seen a fender mounted smoke stack? Would it be posable? To mount it in between the wheel well and the fender/door seem? How would it look? Let me know what you guys think.

Stacks on a gasser just look ridiculous. Even on a diesel pickup, I think they look stupid.

Are you talking about something like an exhaust cut out in the fender or are you talking about a big rig style exhaust? I could deal with a clean install on a fender install but those blummin exhaust stacks like you see on desiel trucks forget it. I think it is sort of funny how they turn them straight up through the bed, I know OT, but when it rains it goes straight to the bottom. Sits in the 90 degree bend and rusts away. Really nice.

The only truck I've ever seen that looked ok with stacks was Dodges "Lil Red Express" back in the late 70's.

i know alot of the turbo guys will put a single pipe there, no turns just flush with the body but if they can do that, you can do a stack

**special-K** · 10-06-2012, 11:04 PM

A stack is a vertical pipe or chimney. Oh wait...that's what you meant? Dang,you serious,man?

Just because you can, dont meen you should.

mud.man.rj · 10-06-2012, 11:45 PM

Ya...do it then post pictures, should make it around the block before you get busted.

1985-GMC · 10-07-2012, 12:18 PM

Yeah it will look great... just like this car!

Hoods69BadBowTie · 10-07-2012, 02:19 PM

Omg I think I just puked seeing those ugly cars with stacks haha! That's just a disgrace. Stacks look kinda cool on some trucks but not something I would ever do to any of mine. Post pics of the truck if you do though.

I seen one just today, it was a 4wheel drive with the stack's between the front wheel and the door.
I'll try to get a picture of it and post it so you can see what a bad idea it really is.
