First things first, if your just going to hate on stack tips, then go somewhere else.
That out of the way, I am fabricating my own set of "aussie" style stacks out of 5" mild steel tubing this week, and I figured I'd post some pictures of how I'm doing that for all of yall that like doing things on the cheap, or bed stacks for that matter.
So my plan is to take 2 chunks of 36" long mild steel 5" in diameter, and cut out some wedges towards the top, bend the bit left on the pipe, gap what's left with the trusty ole MIG, and go at it with an angle grinder, and a flap wheel untill It makes one more or less continuous bend.
Then mitre off the end parallel to the base of the pipe. finally, I'll polish the whole tube, and seal it with clear header paint (poor boy chrome)... Based on what I've done in the past with dirtbike pipes (big 2 smoke fan), I should be able to get a decent finish on it.... Rinse and repeat for side 2.
My budget on this project is $100, but I'm hoping for no more than $50. Thats including weld wire, metal, clamps, and paint. So stick around, and see how it turns out!
Oh, and if anybody's got any stacked ranger pics, here's the place to post em!
