The only two reasons you should have stacks is one your driving a tractor or a rig and 2 its a race truck, thats it. If you spend lots of time at the track than i will admit you should have a stack just so the smoke clears when your spooling up kinda a safty thing.

On a short box truck there cant be that much more pipe when you run it out the side that it would cause a perfomace loss on boosted dsl. Why waste that much needed box space just so that you can think you look cool in your rig rocket.

only benefit is a bit less weight due to less exhaust parts. no performance advantage. sled pullers and drag racers run them because track officials ask us to so the smoke goes up and not at the starter or in the case of pullers at the sled operator.

I have no idea about potential power gains from stacks. But I do know I wont be putting any on my ranger. As far as there looks. Just chrome and straight, with maybe a 45 degree dog ear slashed. That's nothing to really look at. A tractor flap on the top might make people understand and not take a person so serious (similar to "trucknutz"). Maybe if some one had some cool perforated heat sheilds like a real big rig has it might look cooler. But when the hole in the box isn't cut nice it looks like junk. Also if they don't have a solid bracket holding it back from wagging like a dogs tail, they also look like junk. just my .02

Not a truck, but as far as the dyno thing goes, switching from a 4" stack to a 6" stack gave 5 extra hp at the pto when we had the dyno on the 371 Detroit.

If it's not beneficial towards performance, then why the phuk do all sled pull trucks, drag trucks, etc. Run stacks?

Shorter route, thicker pipe, less back pressure.

only benefit is a bit less weight due to less exhaust parts. no performance advantage. sled pullers and drag racers run them because track officials ask us to so the smoke goes up, and not at the starter, or in the case of pullers at the sled operator.

thread over. any other reason than the aforementioned, you are a wannabe poser.

Couldn't have been this one. She is sitting safe and sound in the shed. There are a few around, although they are rare.

Stacks on drag trucks, sled pull trucks, etc etc. Awesome, very useful.

Stacks on trucks that dont even roll coal, useless. Gay? No. But useless.

Stacks on a gas truck, gay.That's my point of view.

Stacks on street vehicle with less than with less than 8 wheels: Gay
Thats my point of view
