Default Cheaper and not as pretty

dlotz You can also use exhaust pipe for this and it is cheaper and easier to get at any auto store, 3 things to do if using steel pipe, double clamp it 180 degress apart on both ends. Lite coat of grease on each end. If you can get someone to roll the ends 1 clamp will be fine. The other thing is to get a universal exhaust hanger for that size pipe and hook it to the frame and the pipe. This will take the load off the pipe and stop vibrations and have something come loose and could leak or break off. If you have a torch setup you can make your own pipe with a bead lock on it by cutting about 1/4" off the end and heating it until it expands and slides over the end of the pipe. Let cool and it will lock on. Blaze a coulpe of spots and it is good for life. Exhaust shop can do this too. Rick L.
