[PARKINGLOT]

looks like it came a long way! what kind if tires you plan on running?

 

[Toreadorranger]

get rid of the stack and get new tires and you would be set.

 

[james99]

keep the stack

 

[95offroadx]

yea id keep the stack to, single stacks kick ass

 

[chico4554]

the stack looks good on your truck!

 

[DieselSmoke]

haha cool i guess the stack is a big deal, i just had it sittin there i might not even use it... i acually have 2 5" stacks tho, hey mabey i should run dual stacks instead of one? lol, i was saving it for my cummins but im going to get 7" stacks instead so i was thinkin of puttin those on the ranger.


Update on truck:
spent 50 bucks on sand paper, primer, and flat black rattle cans to paint the ugly thing
cut the fenders
workin on the pass knuckle for highsteer

the stack isnt a good idea on any ranger motor.....

Actually, it makes a decent amount of sense from a "damage" and "water-crossing" standpoint. However, I agree, stacks have little business being on gasoline-powered rigs.

is the same thing as doing a 5" exhaust. I wheeled with a kid who had dual 3" stacks with flappers. needless to say he had to prop the flappers open because the engine had so little exhaust velocity it couldnt open them.

im only goin to use 2 1/2 exhaust for my 302 it would go up into the single stack if i even use it which i doubt cuz im going to put a fuel cell and battery back there, but it looks cool i think
