Are Stacks/Smoke considered Riced?

There are few things that annoy me more than seeing someone with a lifted/leveled 2500. They look like complete idiots when they put any weight in the back of the truck and it sags. If I wanted a truck that sags with weight in the back I would have bought a titan. If your lifted truck doesnt sag, then you are ok with me.

im with you on the stacks but the lift i gotta disagree. i dont see how it negates the ability of the truck. i have a lift on my HD and it doesnt cut down its ability at least for what i use it for. in fact it helps me out because with the larger tires giving me more ground clearance i can get to more places offroad, like hunting spots that i couldnt get to before with no lift. and no sag here, i can throw my quad and gear in the back and it doesnt look any different than when im unloaded. even when i tow im not sagging but i dont tow any real heavy loads, just a boat and the occasional camper. i think if it did sag id put helper springs or airbags in cause i dont like the a$$ draggin look either. so what are your thoughts on "cali" style trucks where the a$$ end sits lower than the front even when unloaded? i figure you must love them! (i hate that look too)

I didnt really state my opinion before but.......

I agree with the unleveled trucks- queer as a 'football bat'
But as for the stacks- on most all 2500+ trucks-diesels only- the nice chrome ones look sweet as honey, some that are on trucks like an S-10 I saw are retarted, cars should be burnt with them on, etc.

So stacks on the right application (which I have only seen a couple that shouldn't be) are the best touch to a truck you could have.

Smoke is retarded. Why dump fuel you aren't gonna burn?

I have all the 3" pipe and flexi-pipe to do stacks on my 3500HD flatbed and just can't bring myself around to put them on.

just like why do a burnout? ya it wastes rubber but damn its fun isnt it? just like it is to dump a nice cloud of smoke once in a while. plus chicks dig it and most importantly it makes me feel manly!

now doing it all the time just to look cool would be retarted

Who cares what someone else calls rice... its your truck do whatever you want to it, you're the one that has to drive it

because you can't make big power without it. Regardless of what Gale Banks tells you. Unless you have 40k to drop on a monster set of twins, and a built motor and even Nasty Girl smokes heavy.
If yout don't want to smoke then don't.
I do see the flipside, the more we cruise around smoking, the sooner the eco terrorists will try to take it away. It should only be used when necesarry. Not just to haze out an intersection or piss innocent people off.

People will not stop beside my truck in traffic especialy after running Marvel Mystery Oil in the tank. Something about the odor.
Best yet is the idiot with widows open and boom box blaring beside me on the right side of the truck. A good stomping on the diesel throttle gets a good cussing at while they roll their windows up as fast as they can. Mike

The thing is, no matter how you look at it, you are over fueling your truck. I don't care about fuel mileage, but I don't understand dumping fuel for nothing. Now, if you are making so much power that you need a full on race tune, dual CP3's and injectors that flow like a garden hose, I understand that you can't back the fuel off enough to eliminate that smoke, but most of us won't be over 500 Hp, so in that case, smoke is not warrented.

To each his own.

[BuiltupBowtie]

there is a price to pay for being a badass and right now it's about $2.67 a gallon using a litlle extra fuel here and there for the cool factor isn't too bad in my book.

Sounds like you have a good setup! I just cant stand the "cali" look as you put it.

If you don't like smoke...get out of the Diesel section! Roll the coals!

for reals

[cool_as_crap]

Love the stacks and the occasional smoke. Sometimes I wish I had a diesel just so I could put stacks on
Is that lame or what

[mr_goodwrench_0]

Ohhhhhhh, I see. If I can make my truck blow smoke, it's cool. I see. I guess it is, just like lifting a 4X4 just to go to the mall is cool. Why don't you guys just put a garbage bag over your air filter. LOTS of black smoke then.
Then you can line your smoke belching piece of crap up against my clean burning truck and see who is the coolest...

No, no you've got it all wrong.
Those that do blow smoke forget they aren't at the drag strip anymore, so they like to see how quick they can get up to say 100 mph before they see the cops ahead..........oops too late.

But seriously, didn't you read before, the reason for this is only because to get the horsepower needed to satisfy their wants, they turn up the quantity of fuel to the cylinders, which in turns, just happens to blow a black cloud of smoke out the stack, which, yes, does happen look to a certain degree of 'cool'. This is not so on the road around town, only at the drag strip, but those that think on the contrary are only trying to keep up with the you-know-whos
