Reply With QuoteAside from cutting and welding, a better option would be to expand the stock pipe to match the downpipe diameter. If it were me, I'd buy a cheap reducer and weld it in place.
Anybody familiar with any tools you can get at an auto store or sears that can compress exhaust piping? I have to compress the end of my downpipe back to stock and don't want to take the downpipe off. All help is appreciated, thanks.
Edit:
It would appear that compressing the piping is not going to be an option. Cut and re-weld another pipe of equal length may be the only option. Anybody?

Can you get the pipe off and take it to an exhaust shop?
Stuffs.
I've thought about these options before but I don't want to modify the stock exhaust at all. I think I'm going to have to remove the downpipe and then cut and weld it.Originally Posted by 99gst_racer
That's looking like how it is going to have to be done.
