go to a used truck dealer, or a detail shop and get the old 5 inch pipes off of a big truck and just run them up. everything can be had for less than 100 bucks if you buy the 5 inch stacks used, some places will give them to you. If you were around here I would give em to you, we have alot of them, but why you would want it on a pickup, I will never know.

Nothing cooler than a diesel spewing out black smoke out of twin stacks!

Man - I just put stacks on my truck a few weeks ago and there ain't nothin' cheap about it. I spent about $600 on all the parts and did all the rest myself. I dunno what to say.
I guess if you could buy all straight tubing and somehow make up the bends yourself that would save a bunch of moo-lah. Making your own splitter pipe would save a bunch too - but if you get that crooked then it'll be awful hard to get everything else set up straight from there. I'd suggest you check E-bay for some parts too - but I didn't have any luck there except for my actual stacks - got 'em for real cheap!

a y pipe from vanbarco is around 100 bucks, it is 5 inch, and then you can run two 90' bends up form there. You could probably get the 90' bent chrome pipes to a miter cut or turn out at a truck shop www.interstateturbo.com and do it that way. Most of you guys make this stuff way too hard.

Why can't it be done cheaply? I got mine done for about $270. I went to the local truck parts dealer and picked up two new 5" x 36" curved tip stacks for $125. Then I went to a local exhaust shop and had them split my 3" pipe and run two 3" pipes underneath and around and up through pre-cut holes in the box up to the top of each bed rail. Then I built plates to mount the stacks to and inserted the 3" pipes into each stack. Welded around each pipe and that was that. See pics in my gallery.

Most of the time when people go into a truck parts place and make it obvious that you are putting truck stacks on your pickup, you will pay full list. A good friend of our family runs interstate turbo in commerce city colorado and people come in and get charged full list on stuff like that. Most of the time they have enough oddball pieces in 3 1/2-5 inch pipe laying around that you can practically get for nothing. I'm guessing that it could be done for 215-220 bucks if you did it right. No need to spend 500-750 for something that can cost less than half.
