    Keep the chrome clean and it should be fine. It'll get dull and ugly during winter but as long as you keep the salt buildup off they should last a good long while.

    Chrome will last. Yeah it will get rust spots in the winter and they are a bugger to keep clean all the time. But they can usually be cleaned up again with some elbow grease. I think I have lincolns on mine and it's dirty more than clean. A good wash job and they shine again.

    If you do put straights on and are worried about the noise in cab put on the tallest stacks you can and no turnouts

    You know that the majority of newer trucks you see on the road with big pipes have a weed burner and dummy pipes, right? Instead of paying close to $5k for a set of pipes that can handle the heat it’s cheaper to run a weed burner and buy cheap pipes for the dummies. Shoot, even on my truck the driver side pipe is a dummy pipe.

    On a nice truck I'd do dummy pipes every dang time. Buddy has nice 389 with dummy pipes and weed burner. Too many trucks that run DEF with that crap slobbering down the stacks and getting all over everything.

    Even with aussie turn outs the only thing I hate about my stacks is the fact that the rain that gets in them turns into back rain when it comes back out. I try to be mindful of it and keep it slow tell I can just rip on it and make sure it’ll clear the truck and trailer but sometimes the wind just dont corporate and I get that crap all over everything. Hahaha

    Here’s the pipes on mine. Dummy pipe on the driver side from the factory. It only looks goofy in the winter when it’s cold out. Lol
