And I get told Im a Redneck for wanting a single stack in the bed....

 

Refer to post #19 for open hood illustrations. The "up-pipe" is 4", the hood stack is 5", its attached to the hood with a flange, it just closes down over top of the up-pipe with about 2" overlap. They don't actually touch and seal off, but it doesn't need to either.

I seriously hate that flap. But its kind of a neccessity i guess. Well its better than getting out and putting a cap on it every time i shut it off... but now i can't miter cut it.. arggh!!!

 

they make caps that go on mitre cut stacks

 

I have never seen those, i'd be interested!!! Do you have a link or at least a picture or any info?

Thanks

 

just do a straight cut about 12-14" above the hood. Any more gets annoying. AND YOU NEED TO KEEP THE FLAPPER!!!!!!!!! Forgot to put mine on one nice and painted my truck black with soot! mines a bit different but its gonna be sweet driving down to bowling Green with 2 trucks with hood stacks! I love mine and doubt Ill change it. And mine is a lot quieter than my 5" stack!

if you do mitre it, cut it tword the passenger side! if you do it tword the cab it will driect all the noise straight back tword you......and thats realy annoying!

Moight as well throw a few pics of mine up!

 

I'm keepin the flapper for practicality and with my sweet new bumper (will start another thread for that, so look for it!) it looks alot better... JMHO... but why only 12-14" tall? Mine so far is fine i thought about choppin it down a couple inches. i don't even know how tall it is right now, i chopped the turn out off (i'd already cut the rest of the stack off to use for tips on a truck i used to have) and just put the rest of the pipe up there, figured i can always cut it down once i get a feel for where i want it. Yours almost seems a little on the short side. but i don't know... don't see enough hood stacks close up enough to know what looks "right".... also, what did you end up doing with your air filter, i read on one of your posts where you had it by your bellhousing LOL...

 

Ya My air filter is down by the transmission (Hate it being there) By I stoped by the local Advance auto parts and bought a cheap APC air filter that I can just slip onto the turbo, but not sure how well that is going to work. Im still trying to figure something out.

We can compare this weekend on height to see what looks good. Mine came pre-cut this lenth so it all i can work with. I think the picture doesnt do it any justice on how it realy looks and kinda makes it look shorter than it realy is.

 

That looks sweet. Took some serious ****** to slap a hood stack on a daily.

 

I'll see if I can find where I saw them. i believe Sharxram has them on his truck

 

haha i love when people say that! .....

boss, i've heard thats a very bad idea even on a stocky (cheap cone filters) and even worse on a hopped up truck, i've heard of the turbos sucking the filter apart/into the turbo!!! too cheap not strong enough and maybe not enough surface area. i've heard thats a big big no no!!!

Thanks GRI that'd be great!
