I'm looking for recommendations for spun aluminum tube velocity stacks OR exhaust tips with the right look to replicate the one stack clearly visible on the forward, right-hand engine in this shot of Thompson's Challenger I.

I am pretty sure that scale repros plus had those exact stacks in turned aluminum at one point. Not sure if they're still around, but I would check with them. Hope this helps and you can find what you need.

The problem is most of the stacks available seem to be flared out to much. Bill you should try wire termination ferrulles used in electronics those could be flared by hand.

I like the aluminum stacks from Parts by Parks.

I second the Parks ones. I looked thru my aftermarket items and he does have ones closest to what you want without custom work. look for Pn # 4005

Thanks guys. I found the 4005 PN at Strada, still looking for some pix. Thanks again.

EDIT: I found this pic of a model by Jairus. Copy says they're PN 4004. Is this the same amount of bellmouth as the 4005?? Perfect.

I have used aluminum tubing from a local hardware store. You can cut it any length you want, and use a nail to flair the end as needed. Have seen tubing at Hobby Lobby also.

The ones in the parts pack are similar to what I have available, but I also offer 4 different lengths, for a much more reasonable cost.
