    those pipes are rude....

    I had the exact same thing on one of my 379's, I collected a few straight pipe tickets with that thing but it sounded #### good !!

    Does the KW suffer a lot in fuel mileage versus the more aerodynamic hooded trucks and if so how much?

    not so much the KW, it's the Cat vs the Detroit.

    So the hood doesn't impact fuel mileage enough for it to be an issue?

    it will maybe .1-.3, but nothing like a Cat vs a DD S60 or a Cummins N14.

    it does but on the trucks the OP listed I don't see it being that big a difference...

    not much of a choice, the DD60 would likely net you better fuel mileage, it is one of those you are ###### either way thins really
