6 inch stacks on deuce

[jrobinson5093]

I started my stack project today. I am fabing up 5 inch exhaust that runs into dual 6 inch stacks. It may be a lil much but all the pipe was givin to me so I wanna do some thing with it. Im not done yet but here is a few pics.

I figured if they were big enough for some thing that has a engine twice the size as mine and makes three times as much power they should work well. the 5 inch stacks on my duramax works fine and it makes close to 500 horsepower.

 

[doghead]

How much horsepower do you expect to gain with the stacks?

I daresay Doghead was just jerkin' your chain...

 

[jrobinson5093]

none I just wanted a different look and sound and i got tired of my old rotten stack.

You may be a redneck if..........................

 

[jrobinson5093]

I know that it may not be "proper", but I think it looks, and likely sounds cool.

 

[rorybellows]

i was curious as to what that would look like. what are you doing bed wise? you gonna bob it? howz it sound? gotta be louder than the one coming out the fender.

its rare to here unmuffled cattle hauler pipes around here, but i heard one the other day as i was going up tiger summit. he was comin down the hill, and i sure as **** heard him way before i saw him. he went by and i thought that my wind-ers were gonna explode.

an old timer told me a story about putting the right gage pee-anna wire in a certain size pipe will shatter windows when jaking hard. anybody else ever hear this?

 

[jrobinson5093]

the truck was a 109a3 i took the box off and made a shop out of it. I have been lookin for a bed to put on it. i was gonna put my holmes 600 wrecker on it but choose not to. it is pretty loud but i am hopeing whem i put the turn outs on it wont be so loud in the cab. To me it sounds awesome. I will make a video and put it up when i can.

I think I'll be doing this to my next truck, Thanks for posting.

 

[DeucesWild11]

Cool

Looks like a great idea, I hope you post the pics and video when all done. Good luck with it!

Wet noodle time, I hope not anyway. I don't know what you were holding up with that bottle jack on top of the concrete block. If it was anything that could conk you on the noggin, you were asking for trouble. Blocks have very little strength in that direction - sideways, with the load on the web. The block should be up as if you were building a wall, that way the web is in compression, where it is strong, and not tension which is what happens when the block is sideways. Concrete is not strong in tension and should never be loaded in tension. Also, best practice is to have something resilient - like a piece of 2x10 - between the block and the jack so that the load is transferred evenly to the block insted of potentially having the load concentrated in one spot from the base of the jack. Concrete also does not like point loads, which is why star drills work.

OK, nagging mode off.

Did the stack kill most, if not all, of the whistle from the turbo?

 

[jrobinson5093]

no it actually gave me more whistle. it is a d turbo. and the black and jack were just holding a piece a 5 inch pipe. I would never try to pick up and thing on a deuce with that jack or a block.
