I first had a 4" system out the back, then traded for the 5" stacks I have now.
Ups
1. Quieter inside while driving than the 4" (believe it or not, yes)
...........(except when towing)
2. Looks/Sounds a whole lot better
3. Keeps the cloud of soot off my paint
4. ALWAYS ave a conversation starter wherever you go
5. I don't care what anyone says, the white clouds pouring out of them on cold mornings is awesome

Downs
1. Parking garages (or normal garages for that matter)
2. T-Pipe will melt ANYTHING that touches it (ie. get a cover for it)
3. While towing, mine are very loud, but when cruising, the motor is louder
4. People might label you a redneck (I don't mind, but some people might not like that label)

STACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dual 7's mitre cuts sound and look amazing, especially when they get that soot ring around the tip. After a good rain, the smoke and spray that comes out looks pretty cool too. However, yes, you will be marked as a redneck HOWEVER, I haven't met a chick yet that didn't want to drive in it

I got a 4" straight and the drone at 75mph will drive you nuts. I don't mind it to much but it makes everyone around you mad. I have an itch for a single 6" miter but I don't want to cut a hole in my bed. Probably going to get a 5" straight next.

Like the song of a mother to a baby.

I lost the muffler and cat the 2nd day I had the truck and had stracks on it a week later. Since then Ive had 2 sets of stacks and 5in sraight pipe up under the truck. I got a little tired of the stacks and went to a 5in up under the truck. I missed my stacks so much that they were back on a mounth later. Stacks just sound so good.

I am towing about 75% of the time when I drive my truck. After riding in a friend's truck that has stacks pulling my trailer I have to say that stacks will never be for me. Besides, I don't want to give up any bed space anyway. But, hey, other people use their trucks for other things. Your mileage may vary...
