Default Some Stacked F550 Pics

Just thought I would share our latest project with you other Ford guys. Customer runs a hotshot company, mostly equipment. Anyhow, he wanted stacks, and after talking him out of 6" stacks, he let me do my thing. I think they came out quite nice. Had to fab up an upper mount out of aluminum, which matched the bed pretty well. Here are some pics -

Before stacks, pulling it in to relocate the Air Ride compressor and tank.

I used chrome elbows at the bottom and polished stainless clamps, so overall I think it came out pretty clean looking. Josh was pretty excited to say the least.

And a shameless plug for Josh's favorite diesel shop!

We'll see how he likes these miters. He is already thinking of swaping them out for Aussie style stacks. He can't make up his mind. I must say props to Grand Rock for getting everything here intact and not beat to hell. Not a scratch in any of the chrome and you always worry about getting everyting you ordered when you order a ton of different pieces. You just can't beat Grand Rock's quality!

I think I'd want heat shield being that close to the rear doors. But other than that, they look AWSOME!!

Thanks Guys.

Funny finding -

Now with the Stacks, the exhaust is actually quieter than the straight pipe he had prior. Also, Egts are a little lower.

Thats how it is on my truck also. When I first put my stacks on I assumed it would be annoying loud in the cab but its so much quieter in the cab now.

He finally got it hooked to a trailer. Actaully, one of the guys at teh drag in Sacramento blew the head gasket AND cracked his block, so first load with the stacks was on Sunday.
