I commented in your post.

hey man hows it goin. hey quick question...i got my stack kit but i dont know what brand i should get for my down pipe and intermediate pipe. what do you suggest??

oh ok i see. ya cuz i have a superchip programmer on my truck. i got it a while ago. and i was just wondering if i was going to get smoke when i buy my stacks. i kind of dont want a lot of smoke coming out all the time. thanks for letting me know though

If you are not running any type of chip or programmer you will not get very much smoke if any. The smoke is from excess fuel (due to a chip or programmer). I would stay away from programmers (unless you go with a good programmer like SCT) the 7.3 has chips available that you can switch on the fly. No waiting for a programmer to load. If you do decide on a chip I recommend Tony Wildman. He has some awesome tuning, plus if you ever decide to upgrade other components he will reburn your chip for free.

Unfortunately he is out of pocket for a while for personal reasons but if you are interested you can check him out here

hey its me again. quick question..by putting on the grand rocks exhaust will it have smoketcome out of it all the time or do you need something else to make the stacks smoke?

yeah I installed them myself. took about 4 hours total. Nothing bad at all.

oh i see. did you install them yourself? if i can i want to install mine myself...

the stacks I bought used for 140 and I got the bed kit for 200 from a guy that changed his plans. I had already had a 4" turbo back straight pipe setup before I switched to stacks.

alright thanks a lot. how much was it?

thanks bud. they are 36" stacks. the stacks and the bed kit are grand rock. the rain is not really an issue. If you think it will be you can drill a small hole in the exhaust under the bed for a drain. I have never covered mine even in hurricane rain and have never had a problem.
