wtf

yeah but if youre hauling cattle or a nice camper or something and your truck blows smoke the stack is better. put it up into the air and not all over what you are pulling. most of these kids just think it looks cool though and dont care about function

I tried that once. After 300 miles my race trailer was fucking covered in soot.

Boats are the easiest to deal with. A dump after the rear axle pointed to the ground at a 45 will cover the bottom of the boat in soot. Drop it in the lake and it comes back off.

Low deck bumper pull campers suck. You're fucked there no matter what you do. 5th wheels can be avoided just like the boat can. (the front lip under the 5th wheel hitch will be covered but not the sides)

Edit --

This is what we did on all our trucks even that gasser mega cab i had. (this is actually a picture of the gasser lol)

build you an exhaust that flexes with trailer hitch motion and has a quick connect for your trucks rear exhaust

problem solved!

Or.... build and tune the truck so it doesn't smoke or haze on the hwy.

Nigga i ain't banks diesel lol. It's actually pretty hard to get rid of everything. You can cut out the smoke but our trucks always still had a haze. 700hp tow tune with a big single is not EPA friendly. This was before EFI was readily available out the early 6.7L trucks and all we had were H&S or Smarty custom tuning. It helped a ton but wasn't to the level of EFI.

Also no point in dumping 10-20k into a stand alone system when one could get close with a handheld and custom tunes. On the pulling trucks yes but not the trailer truck or street trucks.

i have vinyl over the areas on my trailers that would get soot build up

just peal it off when i sell them

Yeah it is near impossible without efi live. From what i've seen about 450whp is the max for a solid, safe towing tune if you are pulling heavy with a 5.9. I imagine the 6.7 can be run a little higher but i wouldn't think 700whp would be safe especially on a single.

The truck was built for it. 700hp was pretty conservative for that truck. It was a work stock truck that we used to pull the 3.0's and outlaw trucks around and then unhook the trailer, swap the tires and wheels, adjust the track bars and pull the work stock/2.6 class with. Set on kill it was around 1100hp at the crank but unless we were close to home we never ran it that high in work stock. we would pull around the 900 hp range @ 75lbs which was up there for the mods but still conservative enough where we didn't torch the heads or rings. We always had drive shafts, ujoints, and suspension parts on hand in the trailer if and when things broke to get us home.

I could never justify driving two truck and trailer setups to run 3 trucks. We compromised and combined the tow vehicle into our work stock truck. The 3 years we ran like that we always finished top 3 for the season (winning two seasons) in work class and were middle of the pack in 2.6. 2.6 trucks are around 1400hp now-a-days so we couldn't compete as well. If we had a bad night and didnt get power to the ground we were fucked.

perfect size to fit a few whole raw chickens down...do it
