    Personally, I don’t like the smell/fumes under the truck. I’d just leave the stack intact and replace the upper piece, if it gets too unsightly. That’s kind of the issue with shiny bits; it shows everything. The fleet stacks up the back of the sleeper aren’t shiny and show nothing.

    I know a few ppl have done that. Put a weed burner on so stacks stay looking nice. Nothing to it

    Just curious which way the fumes would travel when taking a 10 or 34 with a weed burner set up. I know there are quite of bit out there…..

    Weed burner with stacks is just wrong. Even having a dummy stack on one side is dumb. Would rather just have a single functional stack.
     
    Diesel Dave and Siinman Thank this.

    I guess when you take pride in your truck and what it looks like people have different opinions. Appreciate the response

    I had the single stack up the back of the cab and never smelled anything. Now, I have a weed burner. I smell everything. I hate it. No matter what, some of the fumes will make it inside, somehow. Everyone claims the setup is safe. But, breathing any kind of fumes is NOT safe.

    The urea burners will really screw up a set of stacks, sleeper or trailer when that crap slobbers all over. Keeps everything cleaner with weed burner

    I would worry too. Especially in a crowded parking lot
