I know this sounds stupid but do you really need to weld a ridge? I'm thinking about making a line of jbweld around the pipe cause I don't have a welder, or maybe just duct taping a piece of wire around the pipe.

go down to your local fabrication shop and ask if they have a bead roller if so they should be able to roll a nice bead on the ends of your pipes in about 5min for a minimum charge

I talked to a guy from around here with a high boost turbo teg and he said he used to have this problem all the time. He did a bead of JBWeld and said its never came off ever since and that was 6 months ago. Thats enough proof for me.. ;P

ok try this.. in theory it should work better and it costs nothing but 5 min per end...

Take a hand saw and score the surface of the tube where the coupler's connect. this will give the couplers a rougher surface to "bite" into instead of shiney steal. I'd say make the scoring about 1/2" - 1" all the way around. if that doesn't work, go get that bead weld
