I have 5" stacks. They were on the truck when I bought it. The guy didn't do a great plumbing job... meaning, there's a 3" flex pipe connecting the 3" downpipe to the stack setup. My EGT's run pretty dang high, but that my be because of my set up and not the fault of the stacks.

For my .02, I would suggest that you go with 5 or 6" stacks. Stay away from 4"'s. They just dont' look as good. Especially on a big bodied truck like the 3rd gen.

I have heard good things about this guy for 6" complete set up's.

I'm running 4" straight pipe into 5" stacks and it looks and sounds wicked. It's definately loud with the windows down but with the windows up it's not that bad at all.
