Revisiting some ancient stuff !!
I built my H pipe over the Christmas/New Year holiday time when my wife 'suggested' that I keep the noise and dirt pollution down a bit. Actually turned out fairly easy once I got the @#$% exhaust system apart (I tightened everything with an 18" bar)

What I have are a couple of 8" long spool pieces of 2.25 pipe with the exhaust pipe end belled and the muffler end to fit inside the muffler. I dug out a 180 degree mandral piece of 2", cut it to size with a 2 1/16 hole saw( couldn't find my 2.25) which with the normal hole saw wobble, was just right, and notched the end. I opened up a 2" hole in my 2.25 spool pieces and welded it up. For whatever reasons, the welds look like bird droppings - and the welder was spitting - so had a bit of clean up grinding to do. It will all be bolted back in place tomorrow (we both had the flu and stomach problems hung on for 3 weeks)
