Got the 7" stack and spare tire mounted in the bed. Spare tire mount and the exhaust cover in the bed were bedliner sprayed just like my bed, rockers, bumpers, and steps. My truck sounds "wicked". I thought that the exhaust noise or drone was going to be bad, but it's not. The Toyos at freeway speed are more annoying with the "hum" you hear with knobby tires. Some of you guys wanted some close up pics of all the Carli stuff I had put on. Tomorrow I'll crawl under the truck and take some pics of the Carli stuff. It's getting to dark to snap pics, and I want to go drive around with the windows down, if you know what I mean.

 

WOW!!Looks nice. Is it loud?

 

Looks great!


How bad is the blind spot now in the back with the tire mounted back there?

 

With the windows up, not bad at all. Before I had the stack put on, I was making arrangements to have some sound deadening material installed. Not so anymore. One thing I made sure was done was to have the stack stick up over the cab a couple of inches. The only time it might be a little too loud is when I drive around with the windows down, at speeds of about 35-45 mph. And then it's only bad if I get up on it. Whenever i have the wife and kids in the truck, it's windows up and AC on. When it's just me (90% of the time), I'm a windows down kind of guy, and I love the sound of the exhaust. As far as the blind spot goes, ya, if you're in a tiny car right on my tail, I can't see you in the rear view mirror, but that's why we have the mirrors on the doors for. Don't tailgate me, and I won't roll the coal on you!

 

Here's a few more pics from the front, back, and side, kinda showing how high the stack is. Because of the Carli suspension, the tires/wheels, and the stack, I don't think I'll be parking in any more parking garages again! And no more fast food drive throughs!

 

I'm not much of a stack guy but that black stack on a darker truck sure look nice. It is also the perfect height above the cab.
