go down to your local Peterbilt truck dealer and see what they have in stock. might be cheaper and you will have it tomaro.
On my truck, I split the exhuast where the kitty was. then ran pipes back to each side of the bed. I have a custom built mounts that are sort of like stove pipe adapters the go through a roof. they are bolted to the bed. The pipes under the truck just stick up in the stacks themselves so rain water will drip to the ground. The only time i get smoke out the bottom is when it is cold and i first start it.
I still have all the room between the stack to mount a short tool box against the front of the bed.
I will try and post some pictures tomaro.

hey there, on the stacks vs side, GO WITH STACKS!!! IMHO, i would rather have chrome because stainless will turn a light golden color when heated to exhaust temps, I know my chrome stacks turn blue at the tips and i run an open exhaust. they get really hot, just something to think about.

My stacks never get "that" hot. Mine are hard mounted to the bed, The pipes under the truck are not directly connected to the ones in the bed,they basicly stick up into the pipes. To give you an idea, its like sticking a toothpick up into a straw, there is space to draw in cool air as the exhuast rises up into the stacks.
