Official Stacks thread...Love 'Em, Hate 'Em, Whatever...

Looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:GMC. Now you just need to update your avatar. LOL:coal:
 
I have gotten many compliments on both the look and the sound:thumbsup:. I thought I would initially get the opposite. I have some better pics coming soon I just wanted to wait. My truck is going under the knife for a 6" lift tomorrow and I will have it back Friday. The tires wont be on yet so it will look a lil funny with 33's till next week. My current "friend" agreed to let me take some pics of her by the truck in her bikini :eek:since there is a big water slide party this weekend, I will see how many others I can get to pose also so stay tuned. I have several calls into local salvage yards looking for the white lower air dam and chrome trim for the grille but I don't think anyone will be looking at the cheap ass factory grille in the pics:D.

Sorry, truck was not ready in time and is going back tomorrow. There is a vibration that starts after 70 mph and gets progressively worse. This weekend will be raining, hopefully next weekend. I will only get one chance to do this so I rather wait for nice weather. The stacks, 6" lift, and 35" procomp MT etremes look badazz. I will get a pic of just the truck tomorrow.

looks good Vince...that white truck won't look white when you start it after a heavy rain without covers (as someone suggested)

No prob, just giving you a hard time hope you get things sorted out. Think somethings loose??
 
Ok so Ive got the stack bug working on me now!! Damn I use to hate that look and now Im thinking some big Dual Black mitre cut bad boys sticking up in the back of a big red crew cab would be sweet!! :thumbsup: Im thinking 6 or 7 inchers!
 
I reaaaallllllyyyy want stacks on my truck but my list of things leading up to them is huge. I love the look of a flatbed with stacks, so I would need to design & build or buy a flatbed (really hard for me to find a design I like, hence building). I don't want to put stacks on a stock height truck, it would need a leveling kit at least. With the leveling kit would come H2s and something like a LT285/75-R17E (Toyo A/Ts come in that size). Other than appearance things my truck is bone stock, with the stacks I would want to have a BD Manifold, Diamond Eye downpipe, and 409 or 304 SS 4" exhaust to the bed. With opening up the exhaust I would upgrade the intake bits as well, get a set of gauges, EGR blocker, and get EFI Live.

So you see...I am in a bit of a pickle; as a poor college student I must wait until after graduation to even consider all this. Oh btw, the stacks I want are 5" polished stainless with rain caps. Gotta have raincaps, love the old school look.:thumbsup:
 
I've got a few of questions for all of you.
1)which design are you using, the "T" or a complete dual setup?
2)any problems with flexing between the box/frame/engine?
3)what about the braces under the box?
4) how to decide on the size?

I'm sure there be more.:rolleyes5:
 
I don't know if I would put them on my daily truck, even though I have been tempted several times, I think if I do them, the will be on a second truck. Something I can romp around on on the weekends, my toy truck.
 
My daily driver is my toy truck. I was going to leave mufflers on it. thought about the straight pipe but I've heard it with one pipe off and that was more than loud enough.:eek:

any body else? the more opinions the better.:thumbsup:
 
I like my stacks. :D

4" straightpipe up to 5" y-pipe and stacks. It's loud when you stop on it, but other than that with the windows up it's not so bad. Windows down, forget having a conversation in the truck.

83GMCK2500, hey man I got just what you are talking about on my truck. 5" dual stacks, straight cut polished stainless with rain caps. It does look old school and it sounds great. I put a 4" pipe from the turbo back to the Y and eliminated the muffler. It's only loud when you mash it. :thumbsup: The rain caps rattle a little but that is the way trucks sounded a long time ago. Not obnoxious, just a little rattle when it's idling. I'll try to get a picture posted on here as soon as I figure out how.
