Pipe expansion

Gary Smith · 04-04-2011, 11:00 AM

Anyone know of a way to expand 3" pipe using a hand tool, or custom exhaust service in the Anaheim/Fullerton area? Only seen hand expanders for max 2 7/8 ". Need to make slip joints for racing mufflers that fit 3" collectors ASAP.

Thanks.

Any shop that has a exhaust bender should be able to that for you.

Not all have hydraulic expanders, or ones that stretch beyond 3". Just looking for one in the immediate area who can knock 'em out quickly. Wanna T&T this Thursday.

Thanks.

Thanks Mark!!! Yeah, I'm just looking for suggestions to save time. I'll hunt down Charlie...he wanted to get together anyway.

Gary,
Hooker has slip on reducers for a 3" collector, I got them so I could put on mufflers for Irwindale. BTW, if you plan on running Irwindale this Thursday they are closed, 4/7/11 and 4/14/11.

Phil thanks for the referral. Ron took care of me yesterday and treated me really nice. I'll certainly use his service for future exhaust needs.
