I got my stacks from a Mack dealer the chrome on them was perfect and the cost about $140.00 out the door for the 38 inch. That was in 1999 so I'm sure the price has changed .Friend of mine went with 40 inch on his and trashed them out in the twisties ( downhill sharp curves ) they would hit the pavement  |

I got my stacks from Air Flow last year and they are top quality. I think you will find most members would recommend them also. I believe the pricing is comparable to most truck parts dealers. Look into the Shop Talk pages for install instructions. One helpful hint on the installation is to use liquid soap on the inside of the cans and pipes to help them slide on easier.

This may be a stupid question. But the only stupid question is the one not asked. I glanced at the Shoptalk diagams of installing these. When I look at my stock exhaust there is a 10 to 12 inch extention tip on the end of exhaust. Why wouldn't it just go there. Weight, Size. won't fit? All I know is when I check out different folks Valkyries on the just pic's. The Glass pack look stands out to my eye's. It's a long bike and it plays on that. Don't want to go to long though.

You can put "tips" on the end if you want but the whole idea behind the stacks is to provide a seamless look ....

I did mine with 16" Glass packs and 36" truck stacks with turn outs. The stacks came from Black Cloud Deisel  Scraped alot of pegs on that bike, but never the pipes. Tried to move the exaust to the interstate when I bought it. And they drug the ground in the corners. So they were put back on this one and sold with it. |

If you go too long or ride two-up you can run the risk of dragging the pipes in turns or turning into and out of drives where the elevations change.

The concern I would have too is backing into a parking spot with the rear tire up against the curb .... you may have some issues with the end of pipes (stacks) rubbing/scraping the sidewalk  |

Yup that is an issue sometimes, but they clear most times.  |
