Sometimes the available tube sizes end up with inside diameter of one size being too small and the next size up being too big to match kit exhaust pipes. Because the tube sizes go up in 1/32" increments and wall thickness is .014", I have had success using the "too small" tube to reduce diameter of kit pipe to where it will fit. A piece of brass tube same size as the aluminum tube is useful for this due to brass being a slightly harder metal.
very nice!
Great exhaust tip!
Thank u for sharing keep on building great detail
Excellent video.
Detailing that tiny exhaust clamp completely changed the whole look along the entire exhaust(s) pipes.
I am very impressed.
Awesome tip Robert. I will try this on my current build.

Awesome tip
Looks great, thanks!
Finished clamp ends up slightly thicker than the real ones because of aluminum tube's wall thickness but the overall look is convincing enough.
Great idea
Easier to join the pipes and stronger finished joint as well - definitely a win-win.
