stacks just dont work on gas trucks IMO there was 1 or 2 people on here with them but im not sure if there here anymore. its not that the stacks dont look good, (unless your truck is just tiny) its that most people are use to them being on diesels.

I agree, I love stacks but I feel like there a diesel thing. I'm not saying it wouldn't look good on your tuck cause I would be a liar if I told you that the Idea never crossed my mind, but I just think its a diesel thing. Just my opinion you do what you like.

See I feel that they are a diesel thing but the look is great and my biggest thing is I just put an exhaust on my truck then went mudding and the inside of the exhaust pipes were just coated in mud and Idk how that effects the truck so I wanted to put stacks to not have that problem

If you have a good reason to have em on a gasser, I would say go for it. I hate the look but to each his own.

If done wrong you can lose back pressure and the 5.0 needs back pressure, trust me lol. I had open Headers on mine for a while and it did nothing good at all

X2 to me the only way it looks right is on a lifted DIESEL with a couple fat stacks or a single fat stack. 2" pipe doesn't cut it lol
