I put mine together.

I have-

2- 4' tall, 5" dia. miter tops (originally, now cut into flattops, with 14" tall turn outs)

3- aluminized elbows (would suggest 1 alum. and 2 chrome elbows for the bed, I was going on the cheap)

Flex pipe

Band clamps for joints and some guilotine style to attach to bed.

1- Y pipe (weld a piece of plate in between the 2 halves for evem smoke flow, or center the y in the bed)

I already had 5" exhaust, so I didn't need an adapter for going to the stacks, from a 4" system.

Some have built a box, out of steel tubing, in place of some of the flex pipe and 2 elbows.

On my truck I have 5x7'' steel tubing. I was planning on 6" miter cuts, but the place didn't have any. I have two five inch OD pipes welded to the tubing w/ five inch ID connecting pipe so the stacks slide into the connecting pipe. Whenever I get some time, I'll post some pictures of them. I used the band clamps to hold everything down.

What do you guys have into your stacks for money wise?
I am going to have a buddy fab up the box in shop class for a project so he wants to make up a draft of materials and estimated cost for a grade
