    I'll bet you're glad to see that one gone!
    Does all that piping and stacks offer any hp gain? Or, just noise and raising the exhaust stream into my windshield???


    I know we're hot rodders and we gotta look cool and all but.....

    No HP gain at all. It probably hurts it more than helps it due to the 3"-5" garbage. I tried talking him out of it but he had to have these stacks and tail pipes...... Ok....

    Nice to close that chapter, to each their own but I never have cared for the stacks out the bed of a pickup thing. Seems like lots of people like it though.
