Only thing i learned outta this was don't get crazy shaped exhaust stacks. My daddy was right, if you're gonna get stacks, just make them normal sized pipes and have the be angled (bull haulers) as for shit getting into the pipes, I literally use a couple of old Folgers coffee containers with plastic wrapped around them and it works perfectly. And as for bed space, at least on my current build, I'll be cutting into the side walls of the bed closer to the edges so I don't lose too much space and I'll probably end up making some gaskets or something to eliminate any annoying vibrations. Might get the pipes done up in black chrome or just leave em as is but I'll be going with a 4 inch pipe, maybe a 5 if I can find it and it'll be duals just cuz I like the look. Great video though man, always cool to see other people's rigs.
90% of those Cons also have to do with Tip Direction, Pipe Diameter and the biggest is the height of the opening compared to the Roofline. Below roofline you will get a ton of resonance against the sheet metal. Turned Tips away from the Cab and just above the roofline cuts out on near all of the Cons. The Smoke build-up on bodywork can be reduced by not using a stupidly oversized pipe moking the smoke dribble out or creating a Draft Section to alow the exhaust to scavage free flowing air into the pipe aiding in blowing smoke well away from the Truck.
I really learned something new! I only seen a few stacks be taller than the roofline. Not many run the angled out stacks that i have seen around here. The diamond stack was so much louder compared to the cat stack. Im guessing due to diameter.
@@piemane possibly...it all has to do with sound resonance. Longer and Wider is Deeper to a point. Square or Rectangle makes the soundwaves bounce back and forth side to side vs directed in a pipe. Also Sound clashing into itself neutralizes itself to a degree. I personally like the Octagon Cat Pipes. Make the best sound with 5". Needs to be directed away from and slightly above the cab the keep the resonance from vibrating the Roof or Rear Glass making it annoying. Either way there will always be heard more in cab. Nature of Stacks. Same in Big Rigs.
@@jamesrobinson5801 I want to buy some stacks for my truck and to reduce things like noise and such its best if I keep the exit above the cab? I prefer curved stacks or flat tops with tractor flaps so the water issue is not a concern. Edit: and I was hoping to get 5 inch stacks
@@Dunki113 if you are looking to reduce noise, stacks are definitely not the direction you want to go. Keep in mind, forget keeping the back half of your truck clean if yours rolls coal and anything you are Towing for that matter...if you angle the tip back and out a bit from the cab andit will help a bit. The further from the cab whether above or back away from the cab will also help with resonation. Different shape pipes resonate the frequency of the exhaust differently as well. An exhaust flap will only drive you insane once the hinge tolerance gets bad. It will just rattle none stop...
Not here to talk smack or anything just expressing myself. 1: I put my stacks a bit taller than my cab because the exit of the stacks being closer to the back window will resonate the noise inside BUT you could slide a baffle inside your pipes to work as a muffler. 2: I went with 5 inch stacks but if I had flat top stacks I would've used tractor flaps but with having curved stacks I use buckets to keep the rain out. 3: depending how big of the stacks you put it'll be the same amount of bed space lost if you put a tool box. 4: I like them 5: people will judge you for anything you do to your truck so it's pointless to care about what they think. 6: it's easier to see the coal in my mirrors
I was thinking doing a little red wagon mopar style stacks true semi style I do t like the idea of my bed having that crap in it nowhere to put my welder for one for two I think the red wagon looks good not sure on the heat shields like they have with the holes
Stacks and raincaps! I like my twin 3inch stacks with raincaps. I did burn a couch and plactic on a radiator sitting in back of my truck because of stacks tho. But the stack exhaust made fabricating the twin turbo system easier.
@@piemane They sound awesome with my 468 big block chevy. They are true dual 3inch pipe to twin turbos then 90s to bullet mufflers with raincaps a couple inches above cab. I had to put mufflers on to make the sound bearable.
If I’m buying a truck that has a stack already can I revert it to a normal exhaust under the truck? About how much would that cost? Thanks and nice video man very informative👍
@@piemane this is josh Elizabeth’s husband by the way. But anyway the Straight pipes came out pretty good not gonna lie I did it kind of ghetto and just cut out the catalytic converter put a piece of pipe their cut off the muffler put a piece of pipe there so it’s not really all that great but it sounds good a lot louder and you can hear the turbo a lot more.
You said Enterprise, did you mean Enterprise Al??? If so, I'm from Samson AL. Small ass world if so bud. Also, just straight stacked and tractor flapped my 93 f350 7.3 idi turbo. Just found you, deff gotta watch some more stuff.
I need to find a Cummins first. I’m not really mad about bed space don’t need to truck just kinda want it for JIC situations. And cause it sounds and looks cool but I think I’m going TRUE dual 6 inch stacks. That way I can put buckets over them to keep them dry. True dual for the full effect. Special headers, possibly dual 3’s long tube no cat no muff just both straight to stacks with flex pipe and straight pipe.
Water can flood and/or rust an engine. But in order for that to happen it needs a lot of water to go all the way through the exhaust, which is a couple feet and even a 90° elbow and the water would have to travel up the downpipe coming off the turbo, which is defying gravity. So unless you completely flood the exhaust it's likes a normal exhaust on vehicles, water getting in won't hurt but completely submerging your exhaust will flood the engine
All depends on how much you have your injectors set to....the higher they are the more smoke you get turning them down will reduce the amount. Me stepdads 6.6 Duramax doesn't really smoke at all.
@@darceylawrence5440 injector setting really don't matter when you are going up hill with a load or merging on the the interstate. Old diesels will naturally smoke.

“ Chews Skoal” You put that pipe in that back 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣😭🤣😭
Here's a better way to have a stack..........normal pipe and a tractor flap with a heatshield..........BOOM........Mic drop.
Im in favor of this as well actually. Tractor flaps are awesome 😅
Great video
Thanks man!
Good video brother 😊😊😊
Thanks for the visit
the funiest ever you put that pipe in the back you put that pipe in the bed did you LMAO I love it
Idky but I laughed at this video ! Good shit bro !
Sometimes i crack a lil jokey joke 😂
Thanks man i apperciate the comment!!
@@piemane lmfao !
put a bucket over the stack while your not using the truck to prevent shit from getting down in it
If I’m buying a truck that has a stack already can I revert it to a normal exhaust under the truck? About how much would that cost? Thanks and nice video man very informative👍
Not worth I guess
@@magnumllama400 I ended up buying it and it only cost me $300 for a new pipe and a used muffler from a local shop including installation
@@user-kr6ch4sw3q good, did you close the cabin hole?
@@magnumllama400 No there is still a hole in the bed not sure when I’ll get around to fixing that
You in enterprise Alabama? I’m moving there in a couple of weeks. Thinking of doing a 3 inch stack on my Jetta tdi.
Yes i am! Omg That would be BADASS!! Please do it! If you do decide to pull through lmk I would love to do a collab!
@@piemane I ended up just doing a straight pipe. I’m building a house now on 606 outside the circle. I may revisit the stack later.
I just saw the Shirt that would’ve been a dead giveaway obviously. I went to new Brockton
@@ekoorbhtebazile ah nice! I used to live on 603. I was a kuntry boi.
How did the straight pipe turn out??

Not from what i can tell. I check every few weeks and they still seem good. These rubbers are some tough stuff.

Hey bro, is that cat stack on the 2nd truck 36” long?
Yes
I think the previous owner ordered it off ebay
@@piemane Thanks man
I'm going to use that rubber gromet method to keep bed rattle down.
Worked for me!

Damn I’m putting 2 10in octagon stack 36”tall on rn
Oh yup! Thats gonna be sweet! Are you using a smoke box at the base?
Everybody got their own thing. If I want stacks, I'll drive my Freightliner, but I don't think I'll put 'em in my 7.3 Ford.
Facts. To each as there own! I think the freightliner has a play in this as well!
LOL, complain about the cars driving by while your talking about your loud ass truck...had my dying
im actually hated in my neighborhood tbh. it sounds like a loud ass tractor lmfao
Will water getting in it ruin your engine?
Water can flood and/or rust an engine. But in order for that to happen it needs a lot of water to go all the way through the exhaust, which is a couple feet and even a 90° elbow and the water would have to travel up the downpipe coming off the turbo, which is defying gravity. So unless you completely flood the exhaust it's likes a normal exhaust on vehicles, water getting in won't hurt but completely submerging your exhaust will flood the engine
Only reason I have a stack is down to the fact of not wanting to clean the soot off of my trailer and car.
That will work as well! Do you have a way to prevent water from getting in there
@@piemane its a bucket until I get a dimond shaped clap cap
