Expanding stainless tube
RazMan - 22/1/11 at 12:51 PM

I have found a bargain stainless exhaust tip which would look nice on my car but it is a bit too small at 56mm id - it ideally needs to be 63mm id.

Is it possible to expand the tube in some way or would it just be easier to weld on a stepped adaptor of some sort?

I wouldnt put a reducer on the end of the exhaust, as itll make it louder as well as increase back pressure.

Yea just go to a puccka exhaust fitting place they have hydraulic expanders and give the chappie a couple of quid. I just phoned around until I found a local one in EK
