downpipe question

I want to put a single stack exhaust on my truck. I was thinking 4" from the turbo back. How would I be able to make a 4" downpipe fit? and who sells the best one? I was wondering how big the outlet on the back of the turbo was? Who has done the single stack setup and what problems did they run into? I was going to use one straight section of pipe throught the bed and make the 90 degree bend w/ flex pipe so the motion of the bed wouldn't be a problem..... sound good? Let me know what you guys think!



p.s. I'm also looking for one of those "flapper" lids for the top!




Thanks
Brian J

Here is a pic of the box i made to fit in the bed.

I found this to be the easiest way without buying a kit. The box i bolted down to the floor with four 3/8 bolts so it does not move. The flex is under the bed. It is not hard to do. Single stacks rule!!!

I've heard rip puts out a really good 4" downpipe for our trucks. Also stans is said to have a good one too.
If you have any questions pm me about single stacks. Good luck

Not to discourage you from having a raincap on a stack, i had one and i got really old really quick, ya know what i mean?! here is a pic

The rattling cap is very annoying Im kinda imbarassed of it but its all a learning process. Definatly go 5" on the stack. 4" stack = sound like prop airplane coming down road! haha
