Found a great replacement for velocity stacks. Google “bootlace ferrules” and you can get a box with an assortment of sizes.  I paid $11 for this assortment with 200 pieces in it. They are thin walled and beautifully chrome plated brass tubes.  They really look fantastic and I think they look better than most of the aftermarket turned stacks or exhaust tips for a tiny fraction of the price

Now THAT is a great find. I just made some with a flaring tool and cutoff on a lathe. A little time consuming to get uniform. Thanks for sharing.

i use marine electrical connectors. they have a plastic sheath but once you strip it away your left with nice stacks, and being marine they are stainless steel so polish up nice with a little thinners

Look at wire ferrules, there are some that look exactly like velocity stacks. That's what some of the aftermarket vendors are using.

get them from electrical supply wharehouses

I am an industrial electrician and use hundreds of them when I build a control panel. The ones I use have an insulated end but if you carefully cut that off you have what is shown in the OP pix

You can get them uninsulated as shown as well
