I really don't get why all these guys are putting "duals" on on their trucks and run 2" or smaller pipes out the back. I know it gives them that raspy, redneck sound but geez...for one it looks stupid, for two...how does a dual 1 1/2" exhaust help performance? I even saw an eclipse the other day with glasspacks and what looked like dual 1 1/2" pipes coming out the back. :dunce: That's hi-po right there!
They've got to get that redneck sound somehow... That pea-shooter look is terrible and the tinky sound is even worse
Something with a small amount of displacement should not have too big an exhaust. If the Eclipse's exhaust was 1 1/2" after it splits into duals and say 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" further up where it is one pipe it may actually be a good setup for it.
That size pipe on a relatively large V8 is IMHO a waste of time, money, and effort however. Think off the power lost higher in the RPM range and the gas mileage drop when driving on the highway.
LOL...not too long ago i saw a kid with his eclypse all riced out and he had a fake 4 inch dual exaust. i knew it was fake causy you could see the ground through the exaust on one side...it was killing me not too have a camera...
same thing the other day, no camera. i was driving down the highway and saw a realy sweet tsi wrx subaru..that sweet blue...awesome car. as i slowly wheeled past it eyeballing the car i peeked in too see who was driving it. usually its some punk kid but sometimes its a little hottie...thats the best. a hot girlie in a sweet car. what made me laugh, quite litterally out loud was the car was being driven by a little old lady. easilly 65 years old short white hair in curlers.....funniest thing ive seen on the highway in a long time...
my truck will only have dual 2" but thats changing from the stock single 2" so it is wuits an improvement and i have a small engine...a 300 ci inline six. the best engine ever made (ish)
There is a lady that goes to the same gym as me that has an '04 WRX STI and she's probably pushing 50....
They could go this route:
Heeeeeeeeellloooooooooooooooooooooo KITTY ME-OWIE WOW
haaaaahahaha...thats a new one for me...geesh
Drinkin again?
They must be cheap rednecks or something cause up here we either put 4" or 5" smoke stacks or 3" duals. Every once in awhile youll see one with a garden hose exhuast but most of the time there big.
yep...true redneck would run stacks.....lol
I only see the big exhausts, and the stacks, on the diesels. Although I did see a V8 superduty last year with stacks. But I see LOTS of diesel superdutys and dodges with twin 5" stacks, which looks pretty stupid.
lol...yep...lots
i like the look of stacks but it has to be on a diesel
I made a comment about the 5" stacks once (I think on stangnet) and someone said "well that's what size they run on semis." Yeah exactly...on semis, which are HUGE, so the 5" pipes look better proportionally. On a pickup truck I think 3.5", maybe 4" stacks would be just right...but that's not what anyone runs.
shhhh just a lil bit
but i am so getting that on my cougar
my 3 year old daugter would love it
No gasoline-powered truck needs to have stacks. IMO, stacks are a diesel-only thing.
I don't know about you guys, but I think these trucks are cool!
Those are cool.
While this is not...
*EDIT- picture not showing up. Anyway, look to the next post, it was similar to that one.
Actually that picture is not as rediculous as some of the ones with stacks I've seen around my way.
What's the point of it anyway? You lose a little bit of bed cargo space. The bed is the purpose of having a pick-up. I don't get it.
OK since we got to talking about stacks I had to post this up. I got a Stylin' Concepts Truck catalog the other day (in which everything is overpriced), and found this stack kit in the catalog. Yes, it crosses over in the bed. How gay is that?
BTW, 5.0willgo- yes the purpose of getting a pickup truck is to have the bed, although with some people you wouldn't know that. We get SO many people at the store that come to pick stuff up that either have a tonneau cover on their bed that they REFUSE to remove, or that just refuse to put anything in the bed. Had a guy a couple weeks ago that had an extended cab truck that was picking up a dishwasher and he wanted to put it in the cab. WTF
there are also the guyes that get a truck for towing. mine gets used to toe stuff more than haul in the bed.
