Make sure your front drive shaft isnt bent, or have a failed/ failing u-joint(s). Also check your front wheel bearings for looseness.

if you want to increase your cool factor AND get more turbo whine, stacks... 4" downpipe straight to stack in the bed right behind the cab. big rig style. i went from a 3" exhaust straight to the back, done by previous owner, to 4" straight to the stacks and got alot more turbo whine, better deeper sound, and hell it looks beyond sick.

well your first problem is that you want alot of smoke from a 6.5. and secondly the stacks can be turned, like mine, so that they are angled to the side a little bit
