piece of 3/8" plate bolted through the bed, for washers i used 1/4 X 1 1/2 X 6 flat stock. run a 90 up, and count over how many lifted sections of your bed over you are.
go up top to that spot and set your pipe there and mark it. mark out the center of that and using a hole saw cut a hole an inch bigger than your exhaust.
Make sure where you drill your holes for bolting it are on a raised part (in the bed) so there is no space between the plate and the bed. EASY
EDIT: unless you got a plasma cutter sittin around i dont recommend using 3/8 SS cause it takes a reallllllllly long time to drill through with a hole saw... just a heads up

Is the 90 connected to the stack? Is there another 3/8in plate on the bottom reduced to the size of the down pipe? or is it just fed into there? that would be one hell of a reducer.

just drill the hole in the plate to the size exhaust you have
also these are what i used for washers
i drilled the holes before i looked under the bed and i drilled the front ones to far forward so i just cut them as long as i could and used one bolt per side but they are long enough and have enough leverage to keep everything nice and tight and there is ZERO wear on the bed (meaning its not ripping a hole in my bed) but now you know not to do that so you shouldnt have a problem with it.

also to help keep the stack movement to a minimum use a piece of flexpipe between the 90 and the rest of the exhaust, it also makes it easier to take the stack off if need be since its clamped on instead of welded
