water drain on stacks???????

[cdbright]

so i really want to pute twin stacks runnen up the back of the my cab pointing straight up, but where does the rain water go? i would't think there is a small drain hole at the lowest points, or do you just let it sit and it will evaporate after start up?

Start her up and watch the black mud fly...

Just drill a hole But it wont keep the black mud away though

Soot is a part of having a stack.

It just washes off though!

Times 2. Usually if we get alot of rain I get the garden hose ready. Start her up and let her warm up a bit then I blow all the sootmud out and then just wash it off with the hose.

A plastic coffee can works also but make sure its the plastic ones because if you forget to take it off the plastic can wont chip your paint because it will pop right off because i left mine on to see if it had enough pressure and it does. I even painted mine black to give it a custom look the it! :thumb:

I tried a rain cap and even made a custom counter weight to avoid tapping. The hinge itself rattled and drove me nuts. I tried bushing the hinge with little luck but it could be done if your are more patient than I am.

I have a stack beanie now but I'm usually too lazy or forget to put it on. The beanie is fun since I rarely remember to take it off, if I put it on, it just blows up and lands in the bed.

I have pics of the cap stuff I tried if anyone wants ideas.

Someone needs to invent an exhaust cutout where you can run it inline on something that big and just wire it so it opens for like 5 seconds when startup and then closes. That would be slick. Now watch someone will do this and make millions and Ill still be waxing shoes for old white folk

just add silent choice from a boat exhast system and have the other side go to nothing:thumb:

I just havent got down to see her to pick it up......Use your imagination and great things will come:thumb:


Drilling a hole is a simple way, but keeping the water out is smarter
