back a few years ago I had a hankering to do something different with my exhaust stack (reference: Unique exhaust outlet pictures/ideas - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together)
I havent done anything since then....Well, now I've reached a point where I wanted to piddle with it, so I'm going to start soon. Based on my existing exhaust stack layout I will be using a 5" 90deg elbow attached to the current portion that protrudes through the bed floor, which is basically perfectly vertical; this allows the elbow to be rotated to whatever angle I want, and subsequently the correct 'slash cut' I choose to get the look I'm after.
The exhaust itself will be mounted with another rubber hanger for support, and the actual bed opening will be larger than the pipe for ample clearance for exhaust vibes/movement/heat. I'm undecided if I'm going to use a section of 6" tubing cut on the same angle to weld between the outer and inner bedside... something needs to be done, though.
Anyway I leave you with this to ponder:
