I agree, sort of. I have a single, round 3" NRA sticker on mine. Nothing else will touch my paint or glass.

Or guys with diesels that have tips that look like the size of cannons. I've seen some where it looks like you could literally fit a basketball into it. It just looks stupid. Talking regular exhausts here - not stacks.

I've also even seen an EcoBoost around town that has an enormous centered tip that's dumped under the bed. It looks and sounds horrendous. I saw it at the dealership when I was getting my wheels installed last month and did a walk around. Was a beautiful truck until I saw that.

Oddly enough, even though I don't like those massive tips in the regular exit spots, I do like stacks if they're done right.

oh yah ... I have another one for the list ...

getting really wide rims/wheels (say, 12" wide) and putting 10" wide tires on them ... That has to go pretty far up my list in terms of ridiculousness.

never understood how weakening the structural integrity of a tire on a fullsize truck was a good idea.
