when i did my stacks i only had to cut a tiny bit and i have had my truck undercoated since then but i would do something to protect the newly exposed metal from rust just to ensure longivity

haha already bent it badly so threw it out. i had to cut half of cross member and take out a 4.5 inch out of bed support gonna make something to go around the pipe. overall i would have to say WHAT A F***IN PAIN IN THE ***!! but it is worth it and love the sound . i have them over the cab so i dont have the drone inside, just any sugestions should i weld the stacks to reducers or clamp them? if i were to weld them it would only be 4 tac welds in the joints.

Clamp them so if you want to change styles it's easier. I used these and they work great Aluminized SealClamp 5" Pre-Formed to hook 5" miters to 5"x4" reducers.

i had the same problem i just cut it out. you only need it if your hauling a load in the bed of your truck but my tool box sits up front so i dont have to worry bout it.
