Here's one I built for my 250 gallon.  Used this plenum as I was short on 6.25" pipe.  

There's a sticky on the reverse flow thread that will give you the calculations to use.  As always check with folks on here BEFORE you start cutting and welding.

Exhaust Calculation..

ESV in cubic inches_____________________________ ... = Stack Length in inches (36" +/-)
0.7854 X Stack Diameter X Stack Diameter

Adjust the diameter of the stack, until the proper length is achieved... be sure to measure the actual internal diameter of the pipe used..
this is for round stacks only..
