Hood Stack
 

Not sure if this is the right spot for this but I was wondering who all had pix of the single stack coming straight from the turbo out of the hood? What all is needed to do this? Post pix please

i was wondering the same thing... i have nvevr seen one on an 03 and up before.

I don't have any pics, I'm not running one, but the way it works is you turn your exhaust manifold upside down, like you're mounting a twin setup, and then cut a hole in the hood. due to the nature of how the hood lifts up, the stack is mounted to the hood itself, so you can still lift the hood.

saw this one the other day

We went the easiest way possible. I didn't wanna get a reducer so we turned the 3" pipe off the turbo up and cut it. I welded a piece onto the 5" like a "bottom" but with a 3" hole in it in the right spot. The 3" goes about 2 inches into the 5" with a good fit. The 5" is welded to the hood as you can see. I was in too much of a hurry to care what the connection looked like.
All that was needed was a saw-zall or band saw, jig-saw, MIG machine for the thin metal on the hood, and I used SMAW welding machine out of preference on the 5".

id rather drive a civic with a fart pipe than a diesel with a hoodstack on the street.

diesels are the new rice.

hood stacks are for competition vehicles, not daily drivers with 200hp

its street legal ta drive with hood stacks???? around here youll get pulled over in a heart beat, your pipe has to go back farther than your cab.

I've got my own reasons of why I put a hood stack on.
1. I didn't want holes in the flatbed I'll sell soon
2. too many people have bed stacks and you rarely see any bed stacks that look right/proportional
3. I wanted it to be louder and that was the only way

I hear cops are starting to stop people with any sort of stack on a reg. truck here. One guy got 2 tickets for his bed stacks- 1 was emissions and the other was noise. Cops have seen mine but I don't act like an ass with it and it's not a daily for me.

I know hood stacks are normally seen on pull-trucks but I wouldn't necessarily say it's just for them. If someone wanted to make their truck look like a pull/competition-truck when it's stock, then maybe that's a different story but that's not my case.

I would rather walk than driving a Civic with or without fart can...:lol:
our saftey inspection and police officers would get a heartattack if they would see hood stacks. You have no idea how jealous I am.:c:

u must live in mo?
