Pickup truck exhaust stacks CAN be cool

Crappy cell phone pics cannot attest to the coolness of this vehicle. Even had little flappy covers on the stacks.

But no GRM stickers....

Hope its a diesel and it rolls coal!

Sorry, not diggin it.

haha I thought about a single stack with a flapper on my s10... going to do a out before the wheel instead lol

The cab lights add to the cool factor.

I was really hoping for a set of truck nutz dragging on the ground.

Its possible it looked that way already other than the suspension.

I honestly like stacks when there is only one of them, its reasonably sized, not too tall, in the right place, etc etc.

Which really amounts to almost noone does it the way i like.

That's what I expected - it seems like you'd be lucky to find a VW from that era with faded paint over straight, rust-free bodywork, let alone a pristine unrestored example. Much easier to start with one that came by its rust honestly. Perhaps the whole intentional-rust scene got started by people with late model VWs who looked at the Mk I forums on the Vortex and started getting patina envy.

Stacks = small penis

lol when we moved to TX i couldn't help but comment to my wife how sorry I felt for the TX women...

I think a single stack would have been better than two... and I could not imagine how annoying those flapper things are. Even big diesels have a hard time keeping them from clanging when idling

stacks on pickups only look reasonably cool if said truck is towing a fifth wheel....

Not so Cool Stack(s):

don't ever say stacks don't ever look cool- these were factory installed...
