[quoteI like your version of a set of 55 stacks better than the originals...at least your's line up the output of the 55 to the input of the stacks!

Mostly however, I loved seeing everything in the background Jim, you have a marvelous set of toys!

On my 55G, the stacks are adjustable for height. Just pull them up to match their port to the exhaust pipe(s) from the cylinder(s). The o-ring on the stack base support seals them.

I'm not Bruce (not by a long shot) but I might steal some of these measurements and try to replicate your great exhaust system myself Jim - thanks for sharing your expertise.

This is how I DIY'd a different exhaust setup on another #55 of mine.

Bruce asked me if I could take some measurements of my Jensen #55G Deluxe.
If you need more (or better) don't hesitate to sing out Bruce.
