Actually they are needed in some cases when hauling livestock. Nieghbor had an 7.3 f350 with a straight pipe exhaust using the stock location. He hauled sheep. On the long hauls he would find a few sheep dead in the front corner of the trailer near the exhaust pipe. he added this stack that stood a foot above the cab to remedy the problem. But yes, a large number of people around here just have them for looks.

off topic: mike, what size tires are those in the current pics?
Having hauled stock ranging from horses to turkeys, the only time anything has died it was a result of smothering. My guess is it's not exhaust but the stock piling up on themselves. Unless the fella spent an inordinate amount of time idling in which I say, shut the damn truck off. Just sayin, I've been around the block a time or twelve and have never had a problem. Not saying you're wrong but in my eyes they're nothing more than a cosmetic item on anything other than a drag pickup or a tractor.

I say stacks look real goodmade some stacks out of 5 in kept them for about 4 months then just got tired of having to tie everything I hauled up against the tailgate so I put a six inch tip right where the bed starts in front of the passenger side wheel sounds like a damn jet I love it who knows how long it will last I switch it up to keep myself from being bored I say stacks but realize they are a pain.

KEEP THE STACKS!!!!!!!!!!

You have no idea how badly i wanted to take it home and terrorize my neighbors.
I want to get the engine and tranny out of a wrecked 2 wheel drive and stuff it all into a 50s pickup and run stacks... have a cool hot rod.

I like stacks and I think they look good on most trucks. That being said I also think they are a huge waste of bed space. Leave the stacks to the "Hey Look I'm a bad a$$ highschool kid" and go with the duals.

I have a single straight pipe (3.5" dp, 4", to a 5" tip), no resonantor, no cat, no muffler, no problem! I don't do stacks because I use a topper. Although that thing has to sound B.A. when you stomp it with the stacks. If your welding skills are good, you could notch that tool box to work with the stacks.

At this point if I put the toolbox back in, it would be mostly for looks, since there is a 51 gallon fuel tank directly behind the stacks! I'm still thinking this all over and not 100% sure which way I want to go. You're exactly right, when I step on the throttle going down the road, the noise is just too good to give up.

My friends were joking with me one day, told me I should do stacks through the topper, using stainless steel rings to prtect the fiberglas. I told them I didn't want it to look like some hillbilly cabin.
