I too cut the ends off the taperd pipes when I gut those. Only done 2 pairs of those. I bought a pair from Chevy605 first so I knew where to cut before I did my first pair. Maybe if Chevy is in here as a member and not just to make money off you guys he can chime in and help you out.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
