Here is the question. How many of y'all have any experience with stacks on a Diesel truck? What did you like or dislike about them? Are they any louder than a four inch straight piped Diesel? I am looking at installing them on my Cummins and am needing some answers. I am currently looking at a set from Black Cloud Diesel that are the 7" Bullhaulers. Tell me what you think.

Here is a link to what I am talking about. http://www.blackclouddiesel.com/Stacks/bullhaulerstackpics.htm

Well it depends are you constintally towing? Does your trailer get stained black from the exhuast? If not then why would you put something like that on a perfectly good truck?

hmmm two 7" exhaust pipes coming up through the bed. Loss of bed space, resale limited to people that don't think they are gay. Does the snow/rain just collect in them?

Maybe it's just me but I would just hang an extra pair of truck nuts and forget about the stacks. :hickey:

Hmmmm

That's got it all.

Poorly tuned combustion.
Manly prehistoric beast horns.
Huge stacks, just like a big rig!

Missing the 22's and the lift.

Yes, there is usually a trailer on the back of my rig. Yes, the trailers are getting a quite black from the exhaust. My rig is always black on the dually fender flairs and that is what is really bothering me. I wash my rig about twice a month and in just one day of hauling the black marks are right back on it. I really like that fact that everytime I crack the throttle I am leaving a huge, black, cloud behind me. But, I don't think that the other motorists have the same apprication for the black cloud that I do. I have turned up the waste gate on the turbo and I am able to push about 50 pounds of boost. I have also installed an ATS Diesel Arc Flow intake with a Stage 2 CAI from AFE. The dual exhaust is from MBRP and is four inch and T-304 stainless steel. To go with all these parts I also installed a Smarty and custom tuned it myself. I am wanting to get into sled pulling here and one of the rules states that the exhaust needs to exit in a verticle fassion. I think that this must be for the crowd.

Just remember that black smoke=unburnt fuel. You're going to have that to some extent with a puller but to me, that's a sign of a bad tune on a street truck.

Gives greenies more ammo, too, which I hate. :D

If that is the reason for wanting/needing stacks, then I guess there is no way around it. If it is because of the black on the truck, wash it more than twice a month, direct the exhaust down more, and try to tune it a bit better and dont floor it everywhere.

Basically, I agree with everyone else one here though.

Big clouds of black smoke are gay. Nobody likes to drive through that crap after your truck pukes all of it's unburned fuel out.
