Cons-Annoying ting ting
Pros- Keep your truck cleaner, keep water out of the stacks keep soot puke off all the stuff in the bed. |
I don't use them, but I have a black truck too. If you start the truck and let it warm up it will evaporate out of there without spraying, the only time it sprays out is when I take off and get on it and boost it up, then it sprays crud everywhere. You can also drill small holes in the 90* bend so the water will drain out. Most of it drains out the flex pipe connection from what I can gather though. It's just a personal preference. Instead of putting "flappers" on, I've also seen guys just throw coffee cans over the stacks when it rains.

LOL i put 5 gallon buckets on yours and it was a good thing i turned around when i ran into the rain because when i left it poured! It must have had 2-3 inches per hour i did literally 30mph most of the way home i had you on speaker phone and could barely hear you over the pounding rain. those buckets will stay there until i pull it in. i made the mistake not to remove them from a buddys truck once and when i fired it up and gave it a lil go go juice it blasted the buckets like 20 feet in the air.

To get rid of the annoying ting ting noise, on my buddys stacks we just took some roll on bed liner and covered the under side of the cap so when it hit the stack it wasnt metal on metal. Have fun.:c:

I always thought a CC/LB on big tires would look good with a single 7" stack too... |
