Default Functional Diesel Stacks

for anyone wondering the stack is functional and made from an automotive test light tube and some plumbing fittings at the hardware store for less then 10 bucks things that are an absolute must to not ruin your engine everything added to exhaust must be same size or larger that original exhaust tube anything smaller will restrict the flow throw off your tune and fuel vacuum and possibly melt your piston again these guide lines are not an option you must go bigger on all pipe and fittings for this to work you burn up your motor by not listing its your own fault if you do it right you get a pretty sweet diesel look with the smoke coming out the top of the stack oh and under no circumstance bend the pipes or fitting this will pinch off the opening and cause same problem and too small of pipe

check out my profile for the pics of this set up to see how it works and how it looks since this thing wont let me post url pics yet

Again, these guide lines are not an option you must go bigger on all pipe and fittings for this to work, if you burn up your motor by not listing its your own fault! If you do it right you get a pretty sweet diesel look with the smoke coming out the top of the stack! Oh, under no circumstance bend the pipes or fitting!

The elbows and connecting pipe you have going to the stack should be larger. Every bend in the system creates more back pressure

One 90* bend creats the back pressure of 6 feet of straight pipe. So limit your bends as much as possible.

thanks for the pointers on the bends i haven't had any engine problems and have been running this all summer but the top end does seem to be a little weak over last season one thing i forgot to mention is there are holes in the 90s for the excess oil to drain out so it doesn't clog up the system
