To stack or not to stack?

Post by DZME »

Hi everyone

I was thinking about installing two stainless steel exhaust stacks on my g60 ute. What is everyone's thoughts on the idea and has anyone seen it done before?

I say "Not to stack." But that is my personal preference also.

It has been done before on a G60 ute. There was one for sale a couple of years ago that had a non-stock engine (don't remember which) and it had stacks. The whole ute was pretty modded out, so the stacks really didn't look too out of place on it. I've looked but I can't find any pics of it. But they would look awkward on a mostly stock unit. :twocents-02cents:

No diesel under hood..? then NO Stacks.

Diesel engine? then yeah, maybe stacks, but only as long as the Ute has "supporting" mods to make the styling look correct with the exhaust...
