OK, so here's my attempt at a signature
97 F350 CC 4x4; 3" DP, 4" exh, no cat, flow thru muffler; Tymar intake; Mag Hytec tranny and rear diff covers; trans, egt and boost on the A-pillar; BRAND NEW TIRES: 285/75/16 Geolander A/T-S's on MBwheels #72's. (shimmed bumper 'bout 5/8 - 3/4 inch out); 3.55 gears (stock); interior and engine you can eat off of; Warn premium manual hubs; stock height (looking to do an RSK); avg 15 mpg these days.
I myself do not have stacks, but I have heard that its not really a problem once you start driving. If it were ME (i tend to worry anyway) I would just put shower caps or something over them when its raining (or some other plug of your choice)

When I built my stacks I just left a few small areas not welded on the bottom of the collector tube. I have went out after long hard rains and looked down into the stacks and everything was dry.
Later,

the fun part about rain in your stacks is the steam that comes out when you get on it at first. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smokin.gif[/img]...the guy thati bought my stack setup off of welded a small pipe with a cap on the bottom. theres pics in my sig.

i havent had problems with it actually spraying out from whatever rain was collected in there, unless it rains alot, but almost always upon start up pieces of soot break free and float out and rest on the truck and when its wet they turn into a blob of black paint [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/vomit.gif[/img] but if it just rained and you get on her, it can coat the bed sides, bug and tar remover cleans it up really well.
