I know they just came out with a 5" straight cut w/rain cap in black. Look in the "Press" section on their website.

Unless the truck sits for weeks at a time, I wouldn't worry about it. The water will just turn to steam as it heats up. If it does sit outside a lot without driving it, they I would suggest making a cap for it.

It's my daily driver so it never sits for awhile. Im just worried about pouring down rain or snow getting down inside of it. But like Tyler said, I will probabley just drill a little hole in it. Thanks for the info. Ill make sure to post pictures when im done.

My Grand Rock 6" mitres are on their way right now, should get them within a week, but im having the stacks ceramic coated (satin black) ill be sure to post pics on here too when im done

That will look good with your all black truck.

first off water in staxs wont hurt a thing like rusting the pipes since the pipe will be coated very well with a layer of oily soot except if you dont want any soot to get on the truck but the way to fix that is wait untill your doing 45-50MPH then nail it and the water shoots out as you drive under out of it and the truck stays nice and clean...if you realy think about it you will do your pipe that has a hole drilled in it more damahe since it will give the salt and grime a place to start corroding..

I like your idea about the easier way of getting the water out

I have a bed liner in my truck.....should I be worried about the pipe getting real hot and melting the liner? Or is it something that some exhaust tape will fix?

Don't worry about melting the bed liner. I just took a 400mile trip this last weekend pulling a camper and my bedliner is still in perfect shape. If you are running a 5" pipe, cut a 6" hole......This clearance should be fine.
