I' wouldn't mind having stacks on my truck. Problem is the only way that'll ever happen is if I cut and lengthen the frame by about 8" so I can bring them up between the cab and the bed. That'll never happen.
If you are one of those people who just build something cause everyone else thinks it'll look good, then I guess go for it. Me personally, I build it to be what I want it to be. Stacks sound a little different, definitely look different, but what you want and what other people think.... that's your decision. Or, maybe it's their's....

Do what you personally want. Stacks are cool and all but what you have works fine. Your not going to get any power gains out of stacks that are better than you have now. Straight pipe sound great too.
thanks for the input i think i am going to do a single off set stack i think those look good and i belive in the old sayin (2 for show 1 means business) even though it took me forever to fab up my custom 5" turbo back masterpice

your "buddies" want you to spend money and try things out so they can see how it looks, then decide if they should do it....
