Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum.

I just bought a 2003 2500slt, and am looking to buy smokestacks. Preferrably 5-7" diameter w/ two pipes.

Anyone put stacks on their truck? or have any recommendations on where to shop for them?

As for fitting, is there anything I should look out for to avoid compatibility issues?

I'm willing to shell out some coin for a good sounding, good looking stack as well.

Thanks in advance!

(edit) It's the 5.7 hemi, not a diesel

 

if you want my opinion on the matter........ dont do stacks. i feel they are stupid, and even more stupid on a gasser. i dont even like them on diesels when they are pumping out black smoke. i think you would be taking away from the truck by adding them. im sure a few others on here will agree with me.

again, that is just my opinion, try not to take offense to it.

 

i agree. if anything you can buy them for me and put them on my truck but i would agree not on a hemi truck

 

Try looking and asking over on cummins forum.com

 

This falls under the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything"...

However, (and I have said this before). you bought a pickup truck, not a Kenworth.

 

I dunno, I kinda really liked the Lil' Red Truck with them. Love 'em on the old step side trucks. My old man had a Furd F-250 step side when I was a kid and he welded up his own stacks. Loved that truck!

Personally, I wouldn't do stacks myself, but because to me, the lines on a modern truck and stacks just don't go together, even a diesel doesn't look "right" to me with stacks coming up through the bed.

But, it's your truck, your money. If you want stacks then go for it...

 

No its cool I appreciate both positive and negative feedback. I did a bit more research and it seems to me like opposed side-exiting pipes with a magnaflow or glasspacks sound great on a v8 hemi. So im probably gonna scrub the stack idea... doesnt seem to be right on the v8.

Opinions??

 

crap - Hammer's right too.
I liked the LRT a lot (I'm 42, so I can still remember it pretty good, plus my Uncle owned a Chrysler-Dodge dealership). Stepsides can look good with stacks.

BTW - this was my Uncle's car from back in the days when he had the dealership, it's for sale again (aparently it has appreciated a bit...) - sorry, no pics from this ad.

When I was a kid, his boys and I used to stand on the trunk and pretend the wing was a store candy counter.

 

no pics of the $225,000 Superbird???

 

I looked for some pics straight from the ad.
It's been for sale for while - so I suspect they have let the ad lapse.

Or, someone came up with the cash and bought it.

I also rode in it a few times waaaayyyy back when I was too young to apreciated it's significance. It was also the car that took his wife and VERY VERY soon-to-be-born Son to the hospital in a wicked snowstorm in January at speeds that would be frowned upon even in good weather.
