Agreed, Tim is the guy to talk to when I need to try it.

An alternative is to use dry ice.
Results vary depending on metal thickness. Won't work well with OEM mufflers.

I have also done this. I left the stinger end uncapped. It worked pretty good. Split one pipe but I think some of the metal was thinned out from grinding the street too much. Easy fix with the welder.

The high temp today was 69 degrees. I took advantage of the break from winter and prepped the FPPs for the application of Wal-Mart's best Rustoleum high- temp satin bbq paint. They turned out pretty good.

I really like them on the RZ. Not so much on a Triple. The Denco is a much better Triple Chamber.

Pipes re-installed. Packing courtesy of MP Iron Brady augmented with Lowe's finest aluminium insulation tape. Safety wire wrap will follow and then the cans.
