i have better ones but i cant figure out how to resize them so i can upload them

Looks god. were did you get the pipe for $2?

I dont know why but I just dont dig the single stack not totally off to the passanger side. I'm the odd duck though but something about it looks funny to me. But hey if it turns your crank then awesome man more power to ya

i work at a process systems company, we make pharmaceutical and food tanks, fully polished id/od, anyways, we can buy any scrap for $.10 per lb. so its pretty sweet, i stock piled up on SS scrap:rocking:

Nice! She must sound real good now :U:

yeah but it sounds alot better from behind the truck, its extremely hard to hit the go pedal from back there

I love my single thats just offset of center.. and yours sounds great. Personally, dual stacks look cool and all, but are completely pointless... its not like we can have true duals... lol unless you've got an old 6.2 :ouch:

:pca1:

THats is badass. :rocking:

Im not a big stack fan but it looks good.

yeah but the only crappy thing about stainless is if its not chromed, its SUPER high maintenance, it blues really fast, so then i gotta climb in there with a handheld bottle polisher, and a piece of scotch bright, it takes forever and its not fun by any means

I'm not a big fan of single stacks but that does look sweet on your truck.

[quote=dontneedtostroke;300570]Yeah that sucks but its cheap.

[quote=dontneedtostroke;300570]You could always get ceramic coating ... its cheap as well. I ceramic coated my stack with 1 can of ceramic primer, and one can of Ceramic coating paint. Its like $8 a can for the paint at Oreillys.. makes it maintenance free, and looks awesome..:U:

i thought about it, i was really into the black stack thing for a little bit but i really like the way the polished looks. dont get me wrong, black stacks look sweet, just not for me

Looks sweet!! :U::U:

looks good. :U:

looks sweet i prefer daul stacks but anything other than stock i like :rocking:

looks great, and i love the price.....

gotta love them stacks any way, shape or form:rocking:

Cool stack :U: I wish I could do mine but I would have to move my slip tank and tool box :booo:

Looks good. It sucks haven to spend all that time to clean it, but you can't beat the price :U:. I'd have stacks but they wouldn't last very long on mine.

thanks guys, appreciate the compliments, even though i was kinda fishin for em LOL, now all i need is some wheels and tires and ill be set...but im a broke a$$ welder so i cant afford stuff like that:booo:

I feel your pain man. But the stack does look good.

how did you put it together? do you have pics of the assembly or in the bed and under?
sounds wicked good!

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. :rocking:

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

Wow, I'm stupid!:argh: I never even thought of that. it's so simple, I was thinking way to complicated for nothing!
thanks man, good thread................. more video please?

yeah i gotta get around to that.... :argh:
