Thanks guys!!! I love it so far!!!!!! If i remember i will get pics underhood tomorrow. Its no louder than regular stacks in the bed, surprisingly its about the same. I put 305 tires on it and towed my neighbor's 5th wheel camper with it today about an hour drive and we went up and down some good sized hills, it rumbles a bit goin up hills but like i said about the same as regular straight pipe stacks (off topic, but speaking of which, what stacks AREN'T straight piped on a diesel pickup? LOL)... My neighbor had a good time riding in the truck, lugging down to 400 RPM around turns in 3rd or 4th gear and walking straight up hills in overdrive without losing a single MPH, then accelerating up those hills haha... he's just got a F350 with a 460 (it dropped a valve with 500 miles on the rebuilt engine is why i was towing his camper). I ALWAYS try to rub in the torque because for years i been tryin to get him into a Cummins but he's too set on Fords!!! He's always talk about puttin one in his F350 but i think he's scared of it or doesn't have the money to do it one or the other.

Anyway thought it was story time. I was gettin out of his camper earlier while we were hooking it up and loading up and i kinda bounced down the steps and landed on a plastic cup on the ground and rolled my freakin ankle super bad, we had to drive about 50 miles that clutch was killing me!!!!! (left ankle) I'm hurtin laid up in bed so i get to ramble to you guys haha... anyway so far no flack from the fuzz bout the hoodstack and i do love it, get a TON of looks and comments on it!!!!!!!

-Eric

Haha thats funny!!! Thanks guys, i spent around 8 hrs on the project...

Here's a couple under hood shots and closer up shots. I know, its filthy under the hood..... While most are flipping their turbos and manifolds to do a hoodstack on a single turbo, I made my own "up-pipe" instead. I think i only got away with it because of the body lift i have on the truck... I very seriously doubt that it would have enough clearance to do this without. Its double wrapped in 1500 degree exhaust insulative wrap. I made the pipe by cutting pie shaped sections out and welding the pipe together. There's close to 20 bead-rings of weld around that pipe, if not more... But the up-pipe is 4" and the hood stack is 5" so it just closes down over top of the up-pipe which gives them about 1.5-2" overlap.

I still want to miter cut it i just not sure which direction i want the miter cut to. Either passenger side or rear side.
