They arent finally mounted yet. I'm gonna make the hole in the bed first and then polish before mounting them.

Overall, I think your truck looks fine without them. And I really can't think of any benefit you have by doing all that work, unless it's the 'look' you're going for. Polishing stainless requires some special compounds & a solid polishing set up. I've done lots of it. You did a great job on fitment & welding of the stainless.

I'll just polish the stacks. And give the connector piping a brushed finish. Or maybe go for an overall brushed finish?

I second running the stacks, very novel look. Can you come up with some side pipes that come out the fenders in a dual flex pipe to a single out for my Rabbit? The roadster look.

Just looked at the link to your other cars, love the El Camino
being from Borlänge, do you have any interest in drag racing?

Sure, I visit the local strip every time there's a race. But it's cancelled this year. The local club weren't allowed to use the airstrip any more. So now they are looking for other options. How come you know borlänge?
We have alot of people interested in racing and other motorsports.

Thats a shame
the pictures I've seen from the street open event look good!
I've been drag racing since I was 6 months old so always knew of the races in Borlange, and Mats Eriksson with the pro mod Crown Victoria is a local as well. Been to the race at Mantorp 3 times, might go to Malmo this year

Sweet! We are making a new kind of tubing at work for manufacturing race car roll cases and chassis. And Mats Eriksson is one of the guys behind it all. He was the one fighting to get it approved in the regulations. I am a mechanic at SSAB, a swedish steel manufacturer. We just recently built a tube manufacturing line and it was during that build I found the leftover piping for the stacks.
Any pics of your dragster? Would be sweet to see it.

Awesome! I've seen stuff about the new tube Mats has been using, looks amazing!
Sure; it used to look like this
Then this happened
So currently looks like this, built a new temporary body in 8 days between race meetings!

YES. Stacks and diesels go together like two things that go together well. Heck, sometimes I think about putting a stack on my rabbit every once in awhile. Saw a flat green army looking rabbit awhile back that had a flat black smoke stack exiting out the drivers side fender. it actually looked decent haha.
But i'm not that brave
On the truck I say it's a no brainer.
