through-the-body exhaust - anyone do this?

Stacks are for rigs or hillbilliy rednecks with small manhoods and delusions of being a truck driver! They are dangerous! I had to extinguish my bosses son's Ram when it burst into flames after his plastic toolbox hit the stacks!!!! His truck was engulfed and he got three degree burns on his neck and the back of his head! He is lucky to be alive! Plus myself and three other co workers had to risk our lives getting him out and putting his truck out before the fuel tank had a chance to explode!!! Insurance companies hate them for the afformentioned reason and it destroys the resale value of your truck unless you sell it to a banjo playing retard in Deliverance country! As for the through body exhaust, the choice is yours. I think they look ok but to me not worth the hassle for something hardly anyone will notice.
P.S. Nearly forgot! Stacks on a Ram run up in between the cab and the fuel tank!!! Now, how smart is that!?!?!?! Who ever came up with that idea deserves a mention in the Darwin awards!

Unfortunately this can lead to exhaust gases collecting under the vehicle and entering the cab knocking you out! Bad idea. This is why it was made illegal in Europe as people were dying from it! It's been better now since catalitic converters and unleaded fuel was introduced. Now instead of dying from carbon momoxide poisoning you wake up after the accident with a bad head ache!
