6 inch stacks on w9

If you want it to be noticeably different than stock. You better go with the 7's. Or even 8's. I'm just not sure six would be enough difference than the standard five inch pipe, unless you were actually trying to spot it.

 

Well I have 7's on mine and like them. I agree with spyder. Go with 7's or 8's

 

If it was me, I would take it 7 until it's no longer visible. I think it looks stupid when you see the reduction point. Can you see the elbow on that w9? If so, consider going a step farther before reducing it.

 

Here's pics of mine. 6" stacks and 6" elbows.

They are pricey but I agree on keeping the elbows the same size as stacks. Just makes for a much cleaner look, especially on the W9's. With the way the cab and exhaust are designed they kinda stick out like sore thumbs anyway. They don't tuck in neatly like a Pete does.

There are different elbows for the W9's. 2 I think. Has to do with the length of the battery boxes and steps. If you order elbows make sure to order the correct ones if you stay with the factory style elbows. I've seen some done with the Pickket (?) style elbows that looked really good. 7" or bigger would probably look better with those.

 

I like the look of 6" miter cut better than anything. Wish that's what I had gotten years ago instead of bullhauler turnouts. 7's are cool but just not worth the extra money. 8" is too big. Agree with everyone else on a W900 definitely get matching elbows or it looks half assed. I like the factory style bends better than pickets but that is just a personal preference.

 

I had wanted straights on mine for a while but wanted to put matching elbows on. Ended up with my factory passenger side elbow getting thin and holes coming in them. Guess it was from years of heat, they weren't rusty. You could take your finger and poke holes in them at that point.

I ended up getting elbows and pipes from different suppliers off of eBay. Elbows were excellent, new dynaflex units. Pipes evidently were blems with a couple dings but I got them cheap. Got my clamps, top and bottom, from Empire Chrome in west Memphis.

I'm in for around $1,000 for all.
