Do tail pipe expanders work to make slip fits for exhausts? So like can I get an expander and piping and make slip fit connections so I can use exhaust clamps to make my exhaust and downpipe fit together. Turbo related because I need to do this so my down pipe can fit onto my turbo and I can make a 2.5 in or 3in exhaust. TIA

 

I think the thing you are looking for is the thing you are looking for A pipe expander like Lisle makes should do what you want...

 

Thanks, the reason I asked and I should've stated it was because the description of the part says " To smoothen out u clamp crimps in exhaust piping" and nothing more, but says it works for 1 ?/? to 2 7/8" piping diameter. I will get one now that I know. Custom exhaust coming in the near future, too.

 

i was wondering too how thick of steel can these expand, like a cheap one from Advance auto parts... and do they work well?

 

neone?
