What about a toolbox that does not mount over the sides??? is it to much bed to lose with it siting in the bottom of the bed??


I think the best would be a custom cut tool box so you could still have it mounted in front

53,

I abviuosly missed something somewhere but do you need to use the 12" of 5" flex ??????????????????????????


I am going to keep the 4" existing plumbing and bring that right up to the bottom of the stack if it makes a difference.

Why did you need the flex pipe????????


Only because you went with 5"???????

Did you have to move the stack slightly left or right (around anything)?????

the flex is for engine movement vs bed movement...
the stack is right above the stock exhaust pipe route for the most part..thats one of the cool things about a single..all you need is one 90* bend and some straight pipe to make your own kit

So that potentially puts my toolbox back around 10" which I think might look stupid on a shortbed truck.

Any ideas are appreciated.
I saw a truck around where i live that had a 7" miter on it and he had like a 1/2 tool box. From the drivers side over to about the middle window ! It had some supports under the shorter end and looked really good with the stack installed!!
