I'm gathering parts to add dual stacks to my '86 1 ton flatbed, when I shortened and re mounted the bed, I left 5 inches of space between the bed and cab.

The plan is to run 2.5 in pipe from the iron manifolds to '06 corvette mufflers, (hey, ya use whatcha got) add an H pipe, keep them inside the frame rails and turn them up between the cab and bed, supported with the headache bar, and run them up about a foot higher than the wing. (got ta have a place to put them tractor type rain floppers.) Hopefully, this will keep that black crap off the carhualer.

Can't decide weather to spring for the nice smooth 90* mandrel bends, or just bend the pipe in the muffler bender. (ugly, but cheap)

Anybody have a good Cheap sugestion for fabbing heat shields? and should I drill a condensate drain hole in the bottom of the 90's ? Thanks, RED.
