Hood Stack

crzycowboy said:
Well maybe we could offer 2 or 3 different lenghts....

Do any of the racing or pulling orginazations have any "minimum" requirments? Maybe one of them will chime in here, and help us out.

:doh: I'm sure someone is gonna want a 8" one also...:bang

one association here on the east coast wants hood stacks at least to the top of the cab
 
Im going to be watching this! Done 2 set ups and its not easy! Going to start working on a 3rd for a puller. Plus I want to see how you route the pipe, not a whole lot of room when your trying to get 4" pipe under the cowl.

Oh and if you need help, Ive been down that road and could save you A LOT of head aches and thrown tools! I can send some pictures of my old set up, thats easy, but not the best idea. or the way i have it now, which is a lot better, but not as clean.
 
that's what I'm saying, hood stacks get harder and harder as the truck gets newer and newer...

I came really close to doing one on the '04, but I just don't see a really good way to package everything :(

Ill offer mine as a beta tester since I've already got one. Mine is welded, bolt on would be much easier. If you would like my number I can tell you what some little bits that need tone addressed.

Thanks. I'm sure as we progress with this I may have to give you a shout.

I think the idea of hoodstack kit is great!!!

Are you going to offer the ring that goes around the hole in the hood too? A lot of people ask for those especially if they did a hack job on the hood with a sawzall.
Just an idea....$.02

Thank you, we were hoping to generate some attention with this idea. Since it is for the end user's who better to ask what they need then them?!?!!

Yes our kit would include a nice 2pc mounting plate that would hide any lil' cutting mistakes...:bang

is this going to come with a new intake? are you going to put a different manifold on the 3rd gens? flip the stocker? :confused:

Not sure yet. I think it will depend on the type of feed back we get here in the next few weeks from people like you! ANY type of insight anyone has to offer...we're listening.

We know it's not easy to do this type of set up. Which is why we are hoping to make it a little easier on people by offering some sort of kit. ANY help you can offer would be great! Pictures, any ideas, whatever...we will listen and see if we can apply it!

I wonder if maybe we should work with a couple aftermarket turbo companies to help with this? While we are certain we will definatly offer a kit of some sort, you may see the universal kit first, which would include the stack, and the mounting system we are working on. From there you would have to plumb it your self. Ultimatly, we would like to offer everything from the turbo to the stack. We'll just have to work on finding a universal set up that can be used on make specific trucks.

Thanks for all your help! Keep the idea's coming!!:rockwoot:

Try it with 5" its alot of fun....
 
Take out the A/C system and its super easy, got all the room you could want. But it gets too darn hot in the summer, and I hate to hear all the ladies complain!
 
Technicaly they are ilegal in every state. Incuding mine.

Wonder if it wouls be best to trailer my truck to garmons? Since Ive got to go trough Atlanta.
 
With these hood stacks our main market are the guys racing and pulling. While there is no way anyone could stop you from puting them on your daily drivers, but you're on your own with "Johnny Law"...LOL

Thanks for all the insight everyone. This helps out alot.
