Yeah man I ran eights on my lb7 with 5 inch up to the front pipe and they are miter cut I've never covered them. you will notice a little soot shot on the bed rails. I've currently been running the same exact exhaust on my lbz and same thing no problems just a little black splatter on the rails.they're on there all year round

 

Do you hear the exhaust at all any better in the cab than you do when its behind the tire? main reason i want to do a stack is just to hear her purr
