HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAA that is outrageous. Couple of weekends ago I seen a 7.3 non-powerstroke with stacks that were just as tall but were like 8" and mitre cuts I'll try to find some pics.
Have you guys seen stacks coming out of the hood, through an actual hole cut in the sheet metal? I saw a Dodge the other night with a single stack near the middle of the hood, I wish I had my camera. Sees like he would be cleaning his windshield all the time.
you would be surprised. The velocity of the exhaust gas/smoke coming out manages to clear the cab in most cases. A lot of guys who pull in the "bigger" classes use that method, it's the quickest way to get rid of the exhaust.
Theres a guy here in town that has a crew cab long bed srw super duty with about a 12 inch lift. Looked awesome until he put 8 inch turn out stcks that are about 4 feet above the cab! We're talkin' full length 18 wheeler stacks!
Yeah I saw some douchebag that had 8" turnouts on basically the same truck last year at scheid's. I was trying to nap between pull sessions in the parking area and he keep revving next to me. Ruined my nap, and he didn't even have any smoke...further wasting my time.

today, i just saw this kid in a early 90's chevy 1/2 ton reg cab with stacks today. to bad i had my dump truck or i would've turned around and showed him that stack only belong on diesels.
I'm sorry guys but if it isn't level with the top of the cab it just doesn't look good. JMO but a set of 6 inch miters level w/the cab looks
I think that the stack through the hood is pretty cool but messy. Once up to speed it doesn't matter if you have 500hp it's going all over the windshield.
A guy I work with temporarily put a 5.9 Cummins in a 79 Chevy single cab, dually with a flat bed. He did a single stack, that actually turned out real cool.. he fed 3.5" pipe to the bottom of the bed, and let it stick through a hole he cut.. then over top of that hole, he attached a 8" stack from a Cat 621 Scraper to the bed. It was one of the stacks like you see that are mitre cut, but then the cut off is turned 90* and welded back on. It came to just even with his headache rack, and he turned it out and back, and shot it with some flat black grill paint... it actually looked really good.
