stacks are gay! j/k.!!! i'd think you could hear the turbo with stacks as it shorter and its closer to where you sit. just sayen but i'm not a stack kind of guy. unless there 8" staight stacks on my big old peterbilt!

Nothing like LOTS of back pressure so you can hear your turbo... mmmmm backwords.
