Default Hot Rod trick for exhaust pipes

Hi

As a last resort for making a difficult to fit exhaust pipe or close tolerance header. Remember seeing and old hot rod trick of using the steel flex exhaust, noting unusual but the neat part of the trick was once the pipe was formed to the proper position the guy ran a welding bead down the side of the pipe. In this way the pipe was locked to the necessary shape and could be removed to be copied with a pipe bender.

Cheers Phil
