    Lightbulb Heres a few tricks

     



    1 Want to cut a straight line on a tube, just tighten a hose clip around the tube and its a guide for a hacksaw or cutting disc

    2 to pull all your primary pipes together into a cloverleaf pattern before connecting up the collector flange, just pull them all together with a big hose clamp and start welding.

    those tips seem pretty useful, I wish I knew them a couple days ago. I think I got the pass side pipes close enough to pull them into one collector. Of course I didn't buy enough bends and now I have to wait to finish the driver side.
