Personally I do not like durmax;s with stacks. Ford and dodge look ok but not chevy. But my friend has a cummins with stacks and it looks good but he hates them. His bed is black from smoke. He opened his rear window and it turned his roof lining black (oops) and anything on the trailer behind the truck gets sute on it.

Here is my friend's truck with stacks. Personaly I think those huge *** 5, 6+ inch stacks look like crap. Go with 3 1/2, maybe 4 inch pipes. The smaller pipes will give your truck more bark too. The stacks on my friends truck here are 3 inch.

My buddy put a stack on his power stroke but it didnt run right so he took it off after a couple weeks. His power stroke is a beast to.

I'm no tree hugger.....but i wish those guys would f*** off with the barrelling smoke out of the pipes, it pollutes like HELL.
anyway some stacks just really dont suit certain vehicles, it's gotta be the right truck for it to look right IMO.....

Diesel smoke that you can see puts out LESS poisions into the air then a regular gas vehicle with exhaulst yuo can not see.

ya know the emissions that diesel put out even when running rich (black smoke) is probibly less harmfull than the emissions that gas engine put out:ermm:
as far as puting stacks on a pickup seems totally pointless IMO,i like it right at window level for all the rice burners;)

Thanks I wasn't sure how to say it lol.
My bud has a VW truck diesel (small truck) he put a 5 inch 4 foot high stack. It is window level with most trucks:)
I will get a pic ASAP it is so funny looking
Y dont they just make a clean burning diesel?

The reason a diesel smokes is because there is soo much fuel going to the engine the engine can not burn it. My friends truck would be so so much faster if he could get the rest of the fuel to light. Just like a quad engine. It will smoke black when rich. Well my friends cummins is really really rich lol.
stalefish_132
10-25-2006, 09:55 PM
and most guys don't run that rich for very long, EGT's climb pretty fast and most of the time its just for starting off from a stop light just to impress people. plus what kind of milage do you think they'd get if they are pouring the fuel to it? for the most part its just for a few mintues if that;)
damn stacks are ugly on a truck 1!

the problem with diesel is the amount of soot it produces, it produces a different kind of pollution, some say not as damaging, but the NOx gasses is produces are still damaging.
They are producing clean burning diesels, and there are laws in places that will make them MUCH cleaner January 1, 2007 and in 2010, but the funny part is it is pissing all of the diehard diesel guys off, they think they are going to be less reliable and such
Cool fact I heard talking with a CAT engineer: the 2010 engines exhaust will actually be cleaner and better than the air they take in in most urban areas

come on guys what do you not like about a big *** truck beatin a little ricers *** .. well you that dont like it must be gettin scared to run against the big dogs. i love diesels i have a diesel and will be gettin another one soon also. yea sometimes they can put out to much smoke out in public for no reason but its not like (most) guys are just tryin to get it pourin out like that. and not all diesels pour out smoke like that truck. once you start moddin with injectors and turnin up the fuel it will absolutly smoke a ton thats how they work. and yea they smoke because they arent burnin all the fuel but that doesnt mean you lower the fuel to make it get more power. in diesels its more fuel = more power. think of the tractors, eighteen wheelers , dump trucks, they all blow out smoke too and most the time its more than pickups. the trucks are just spoolin up for a run when they blow it out like that truck. most diesels just blow alittle bit when they pound it. and i dont think they are makin things better with the new fuel in some trucks its actually makin them smoke more. and yes it does hurt the older trucks because the new fuel has less lubricant. owell cant do anything about it. but it does suck when we have to get new injectors and stuff replaced because of the fuel burnin them out.. but atleast it gives me an exscuse to get me some bigger ones!!
any ways about the stacks i think their ok on some trucks but i like it at window level also just a better look too me.

why do you say that?
I wasn't comparing diesel exhaust to gas exhaust really, I'm just saying they are polluting double the rate. And, diesel exhaust is a cancergen (apparently). diesel exhaust has some hella toxic chemicals in it, but so does gasolines. they only really pollute less when they're a modern, emissions controlled engine...a puff is fine but leaving clouds is just retarded.
I would like to install them on mine, but eh...Not crazy about cutting holes in the bed just yet...

The reason they went for the new fuel was for the particulate filter addition, the sulfur makes it impossible to use that technology.
Using a Biodiesel mix (such as B-5 or B-11) can almost completely negate the lubricity problem

The stacks have nothing to do with the smoke. I wold smoke liek that out of normal exhaust. It's all he extra exhaust being pushed out of a modded motor

the truck on the left doesn't have stacks and still smokes just as much

Yeh, stacks don't make the smoke, my cousin bought a chip for his truck, he thinks its the fastest thing, and best thing, on a 7.3 F-350, Its got a lot of torque but its not that fast at all and he thinks he'll beat everything on the street. He loves how it puts out so much smoke, so he has to start it up for everyone and red line it to get all the black smoke out. He's like "Isn't it so cool?" I'm like, "Wutever".
Anyway, The truck needs to look right for stacks and you got to put them on the right way too. I've seen a chicks New F-350 extended cab, long bed, with stacks comin up from the inside of the bed, now that truck was sharp, she had a highly modded sled/truck puller.
The stacks have to be on the inside of the bed, I've seen some coming on the outside of the bed and they stick out like a foot on each side, you wanna talk about UGLY!
Have them on the inside of the bed with a truck that sutes it and it will look decent, and not to big either.
And don't put stacks on a gas engine.
And they need to add more wieght to that sled.

i think stacks only look good on old dodge trucks like 99 models and duallies. they look alright on fords but they r just retarded on duramaxes. except this one stack is kinda cool
window level is a must

kinda hard to see, but i like teh bull horn style stack the best, like the ones in teh video i posted. They are window level, 45 deg. angle on them, but nut jsut rounded off. they have more of a sharp curve to them. i am not a fan of just straight ones or the plain curved ones.
One stack is just dumb IMO, i hate the look of just one stack, gotta have duals to look good. i wish i had some good still pics of the green d-max in teh video or there is a silver crew cab with the same exact stacks on it (took off the green truck on put on it)
Stacks have to be done right in order to look good. the right style, height, size, ect. ANd stacks on gas trucks just don't look right and soud horrible too. the piping is usually too small to pull off a good look with stacks on a gas motor. This is all my opinion, to each their own though.

10-27-2006, 06:18 PM
the stacks on the black dodge are the only way to make it look right. that style will look good on most any full sized truck. those little 3" are just a waste,jmo. i will get a pic of my dads i guess, its a one of a kind.

The stacks on my friend's truck that I posted are comming off of a 300 CI straight 6. And belive it or not it is one of the best sounding trucks in the area. I like the look of the smaller stacks better too. I think the bigger ones are just too much.
here are some pics:

Its all about the right stacks on the right truck. Sometimes just one looks cool, sometimes it needs duels.
Either way, NEVER put stacks on a 4cyl. Ranger. All the local hillbillies decided to MAKE their own stacks, and one chose to put it on said vehicle. BAd,bad move!:mad:
Oh, and the newer Chevy Duramaxes are going to need a lot more than stacks to look good IMO.

Oh, and here is a pic of some stacks. I did not check any links, so my apologies if a repost.

You can put covers on to keep out all the water, or drill a small hole in the bottom of the stacks, even with the hole you might get a little soot shower on start up.

Think about how low the stacks are and how high the manifolds are on th truck. The water would have fill the stacks up higher than the motor for anythin bad to happen. The water would just gt blown out on start up.
