    These are 6 in. They are two piece stacks. The trailer sits at 13’8 and the stacks sit at 13’4. They seem to work pretty well for me, Van trailer or stepdeck. They were middle of the road when I got them.

    A former boss liked to have dedicated trailers for each tractor he set pipes 1/2” higher than trailer to use as a measuring stick for some places we went into.

    I do see several companies with a some trucks with tall pipes above the mufflers with the upper part pointing rear wards with a slight dent at the tip.

    The funny part that makes me shake my head and chuckle is how long they leave it like that before they finally get it fixed by the company mechanic.

    I bumped a tree branch once backing up, bent my pipe forwards. Had it fixed in 15 mins on the spot.

    I pull a flatbed in the state of Florida
    The only thing I have to worry about is the trees in south Florida is a jungle

    left my w9 5” and went with the solid stainless muffler wraps around the Donaldson flow through mufflers (the Pittsburg power ones for half the price)

    there’s a couple different knock offs I believe, I’ve driven company trucks with straights in the past but I like being able to have my window cracked, maybe I’m just getting old, they have a nice tone to them though they aren’t just quiet.easier and cheaper to replace this way too E8944CB5-2978-48B7-B785-5389FCD28AA6.jpeg
