Mark,
I just got onto this thread what a great job. My wife even liked it and she likes stacks about as much as she likes hearing about my truck!

53, waiting for pics.... but I've also got a question... You have that 5" downpipe that you bought from somebody. My question is how do you make the connection at the turbo when the turbo is a 4" outlet?

Am I missing something here?

The down pipe actually clamps at the turbo 4" and then bells about 1/2" after the turbo to 5" I'd take a pic of mine but I think I threw mine away when I put the turbo's on!

Have any of you guys seen any other way to do stacks or a single stack which I'm leaning toward with a toolbox? I mean instead of moving the box back to fit the stack? If I were to go with a 7" stack it looks like the stack is at least an inch off the front of the bed and I'd need at least an inch for the lid of the box to open. So that potentially puts my toolbox back around 10" which I think might look stupid on a shortbed truck.

Any ideas are appreciated.
