Installing 8″ Stacks On Custom Rigs Equipped With DPF Exhausts

“One of the problems we have run into on the DPF trucks being customized here at Pro-Fab is not being able to put big stacks and big Pickett-style elbows on them,” says shop owner and custom fabricator Randy Kaylor.

So the Manheim, PA, fabrication and installation experts figured out a slick work-around that keeps the factory DPF system intact while providing the monster stack custom-look: They designed a faux exhaust to use the monster stacks, leaving the factory exhaust/muffler in place.

” This is one way of getting the look of big pipes,” says Kaylor, who used Anthony Fishkelta’s custom rig from Grand Street Warehouse in Moonachie, NJ, as the guinnea pig. “The truck was ordered with a weed-burner exhaust setup from the factory,and then we fabricated new brackets to support the belly cross-over and the 8″ pipes.

Custom brackets were fabricated to hang the faux exhaust's cross-over pipe.

“So now our customer  has the look of big pipes on a DPF truck. It’s a very clean , custom look,” Kaylor says. We agree. If you have any questions, contact Pro-Fab Associates: www.pro-fabassociates.com; (717)-664-4216
