Pickup Truck Single Exhaust Stack: a Cloud in the Sky
What is more impressive to a diesel truck owner than billowing a big black cloud into the sky? Nothing! The newest craze in the diesel aftermarket is Exhaust Stacks. Is there anything aside from looks that these vertical tail pipes can give? This is the question of many. We will talk about the different types of exhaust stacks in this brief time.
The most popular of any exhaust stacks out there by far is the dual exhaust stack kit. Grand Rock, a leading exhaust stack manufacturer makes exhaust stack kits with four and five inch connections under the bed and stack tip sizes ranging from four to seven inches and come in a variety of tip styles. These systems also are available in turbo back systems. Even by just adding a bed kit which is basically a cat-back stack system, the benefit can be great. From the under the bed connection the system goes from four inch to dual five inch which really opens up the exhaust allowing the exhaust gas temperatures to stay cooler and the engine to create more power due to the relieved back pressure on the engine. One of the best parts of upgrading to an exhaust stack system is the dramatic change in looks of the truck.
The newest version of the exhaust stack in the diesel aftermarket is the single exhaust stack. There is an increase in exhaust flow with the single exhaust stack over the stock exhaust system. The single exhaust stack goes from a four inch connection under the bed to five inch in the bed. Although it doesn’t increase performance as much as it would if it went from the stock exhaust to twin pipes there is a unique dramatic effect that the single exhaust stack has. The single exhaust stack puts all the exhaust out one pipe which creates one big and thick cloud in the sky. To make it smoke like that one must be running rich on the fuel, but in my experience every time I’ve seen a single stacked truck get on the gas and dump a big black cloud into the sky, shortly after people come by thinking that there is a big fire going on. Imagine there surprise when they see that it was a truck that made the big black cloud that was thrusted straight up in the air. Needless to say the single exhaust stack is a real attention getter.
In conclusion exhaust stacks are not for everyone. The people that want to get attention or be the biggest meanest looking truck in town……exhaust stacks are a must.

how to build tower using only popsicle sticks and rubber bands?
it has to hold 1 ream paper on top. Tallest tower wins. we get 200 sticks and about a cup full of rubber bands. We spent hours on this and cant figure it out. please help.
Stacking clumps doesnt work.
His hint was the sticks hold the most weight when they are vertical.
I am not speaking as if I have ever had to do this before, but I am an engineering student and this is my best guess. I would start with a base shaped like a triangle(vs. square to get the max height with the materials provided), then attatch 3 vertical uprights at the corners of the base. Make another triangle, attach to vertical uprights the same way the base was attached. Continue building your model until you are out of popsicle sticks. Based on the math of 200 divided by 6 you should be able to make your model just over 30 floors high. The biggest challenge will be to get the rubberbands to hold the joints tight enough to support the structure.
Before you even begin I would multiply the length of a popsicle stick by 30 and determine if the overall height will be too much for the strength of the structure. It kinda sounds like it will. If so just do the exact same procedure starting out with a square instead of a triangle. This should give you just under 25 floors and that sounds more realistic considering the strength of a square shaped structure. After all the world tallest structures are cubic. Good luck and happy modeling!
