doesn't sound much like the middle to me.

Make sure you get the solid pipes swaged.

Make sure you get the solid pipes swaged.

is there a tool you can buy to do this?? or where can this be done?

there is a tool, it's pretty expensive, and hard work. The people supplying the pipe should be able to do it.

i doubt ill be able to get it done where i buy the hard pipes from as im sourcing mine from ebay as straights and getting them mandrel bent at an exhaust makers.

ive heard its not really a problem if the pipes arent swaged? as long as you have good quality clamps??

ok! the start then.....:laugh::laugh:

you'll need more than decent clamps to hold them when you make boost. I can imagine that you'd easily see 30psi in the pipes when you close the throttle, with a 63mm dia pipe that's 7.8 sq inches, so 233lb trying to pull the pipes apart.

This looks like a nice tool, and a lot less effort than the one I borrowed http://shop.useful-tools.co.uk/hand-beading-tool-4-p.asp

[Andrew Cooke]

this is what I used for my water pipes, and some of the boost pipes (although it is too small for that)

that one looks like it'll do the trick. but its abit much to pay for just wanting you pipes swaged.

[Tiny Tim]

Umm. Why not just get some small welds put on round the lip ;)

[The new Bill J]

Or get the hairspray out.

[Brigsy]

My pipes aren't swaged & don't pop off, if you can get it done cheap its worth doing though.
