Has anyone on here done stacks like this with the fabrication on the bed to make space and look clean like this?

I think this would be the only way to do stacks right, doesn't take up bed space and looks a million times better.

Just not on a Ford, and not ugly stacks like that....maybe some 7" mitres.

 

7" miters would make you have to put a pretty big gap between your cab and your bed...

 

All thats done there is spent a bunch of extra $$$ to take away from bed space. Hes lost 6-8" of space, which is what you lose in the bed. IMO, in bed stacks are the ONLY way to go. Just my .02.

 

That's Fugly!!!!!

 

Ditto that!!!

Take the heat shields off, actually mold them into the bed instead of moving the bed back, use a bigger diameter and different style, and hide the ugly pipe underneath and it might look good.....might.

 

yeah but what they don't show is there is a 6-8 inch gap between the cab and bed

 

Like Dominators pulling truck...it looks good!

 

I didn't mean to move the bed back. I'm thinking keep the bed and everything where it is and fabricate some semi-circle type cutouts at the corner of the front of the bed. That way the stacks would fit halfway in the cutout-things and would have the full-length look like big rigs.

I've seen a couple of trucks on here with stacks run outside the bed and looked bad because they stuck out from the body so much...mold them closer by fabricating cutouts and it would look good.

I agree that those stacks are ugly, change to a solid mitre or bull hauler and you'd be talking.

 

I understood what you meant. I was just commenting on the truck in the photo.

 

That is the way I will be doing my stacks...just I don't have a box to work with. My flat bed is about 3-4 inches away from the cab if I remember correctly. So I think in each corner of the cab I will cut some wood away and so that my stacks will flow up in each corner from underneath. But I need to measure and build my headache rack first. I also wont have the plumbing underneath the truck almost drag on the ground and be noticeable like that truck

 

I can't say that I like that set-up

 

I did this for a friend. 5" turbo back Y under the bed and over the frame then out the side of the bed at the bottom. Smokes perfect on both sides ( same time and amount ) and used almost 30ft of 5" pipe stacks and all. sounded great and could hardly hear them with the windows up. Bottom of pipe was flush with the bottom of the bed.

 

Looks good....on a flat bed. Nothing else can pull that off in my opinion.
