Well for those who dont know, I am hooking at the Hoosier Invitational in Cloverdale Indiana on March 12th.
It is an indoor pull so I have to have a special stack that feeds into their exhaust system.
The rules state it must be 10' from the ground to the center of the pipe. It must terminate directly above the hitch and have a brace 36" from the end.
Well we started it this morning and between working on it and other projects we got it done tonite.
All I can say is that its ugly but at the same time kinda cool looking.
As you all know, single stacks are offset. so In order to make this stack I had to move the center of it over 14".
Here is how I built it.
I started with 20' of 5" pipe, and 2 45* 5" OD/OD short sweep, short leg elbows. Ran me about 300 bucks from NAPA.
I attached a 4' section to my existing stack location, then tacked one of the elbows to that section, off of that elbow I added a 2, 4" piece and spun the stack so that it would move the center over. From there I added my other 45* elbow which then redirects the stack so that it is parallel to the ground and runs straight down the center of the truck 10' in the air.
we actually built it in 2 sections starting with the original stack location piece with the elbow and two pipes attached. The other section was the long parrallel piece with the other elbow tacked on.
With 3 guys holding it and 2 people eyeballing it I marked where we needed to trim it. Then with the 3 guys holding it and 2 guys eyeballing I tacked it in place and it actually turned out nice.
The brace is an A frame that uses existing holes in my bed.
Heres some pics from my phone
