it wasnt allways this clean. this is what it looked like about 4 months ago when i bough it my dad helped me put it back together. I couldnt aford one that wasnt smashed. The only reason i put stacks on it is cause the guy before me had them on before he smashed it and there was all ready a hole in the box.
Very nice, you saved that truck. I applaud you and your Dad, that's VERY cool.

I have the MBRP smoker kit and i LOVE it should of done it sooner!!!!! I am truck driver by trade so the noise does not bother me one bit. They are loud as hell with the window open but closed they sound **** good. My girlfriend wasnt to happy but after she rode in it even she likes it. Best money Ive spent on the ole girl so far

Very loud but not too bad with the windows up. Everything in the truck shakes and rattles, the silder window track has pennies wedged in it because it was the worst. I have to let off the throttle if I want to see anything more then a total blur in the rear view mirror.
After about 2,250 RPM there is a major tone change (in a good way) however it could get very annoying on a road trip with 70 MPH speeds. I have not been that fast since I put the stacks on a few months back.
I like them but they are not for everyone.

When I had mine straight piped it would give me a headace from the drone so I put in a 52" commercial truck muffler with the 5" turnouts and love it. It still has the deep semi truck sound but is quiet enough not to hurt you ears. I just would like to change them out one day to 6" miters.

I think a stack would look cool but with my dirt bike in the back I would be mad if every time I wanted to go riding it would go from Orange to Black... I love the look and someday if I can get a 1st gen to "play" with and have my 95 for a daily driver it would be awesome to have a stack or two.

i've had a single 5" with 5" pipe from firewall back for about a year and a half. i just ordered a 4" turbo back system, with a muffler! the stack was fun, but is too loud, especially on the highway. plus i'm getting a topper, so i guess i'm pretty much out of the stack buisness for good.

They're nice until it rains and you don't cover them, then you and anything around you gets another coat of paint when you start it, but when you put the pedal down and the smoke rolls you can't see behind you (thats what i do when someone is tailgating) just don't let a cop see you do that!!

I found out how my son enjoys the ride. His neck hurts from constantly looking back and his vocal cords are wearing out from saying "DO IT AGAIN!!!" He loves the smoke and the sound. Not too loud for my 4yr old.
