8 inch pipes with mitre tip

u got a nice pete therer 379 cat,i put coffee can on my flat top stacks.i bought rain caps from 4states for less than 100 bucks and got them powdercoated.

 

Don't ya love when ya forget the cans and it scares the HOLY BEEJEEEEZUSS out of ya But that feeling right before ya realize what ya did or didn't do. You know the What The HECK was that feeling for those couple few seconds...PRICELESS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Supposedly according to a power plant I was at, you want the stacks mitered. A flat stack is a pipe organ on the highway (of sorts). Remember blowing air across a bottle? Same thing.

 

anyone know where to get those picketts at a decent price???

 

Any hole in the exaust system could get you a write up in a DOT inspection. I guess it's that carbon monoxide leaking into the cab and falling asleep and never waking up thing. JMO.

 

How about drilling a hole and adding a petcock or similar valve, so the water could be allowed to drain out while the truck is shut down, then simply close the valve before starting up.

Would that be acceptable to DOT?

 

I guess that would work until you hit something in the road and snap it off or worst yet tear a hole in the pipe. I just put two five gallon pails on my tips with an old broom handle when heavy rains are forcast.

 

too much work to look cool..

 

i cut my mitres into flat tops and bought rain caps from 4states and had them powdercoated black.i like the look so much i pulled alot of bolt on parts off to get them powder coated too.i'd like to get the stacks powdercoated and leave the hangers and clamps stainless.i may do the visor or mirror brackets too.you won't believe what difference a little paint will do.
