I ordered some mild steel piping form some http://store.racing-solutions.org/index.html but its not a 2" diameter as it should be. Its close, but no cigar. When I first saw it, i knew it looked kinda small, then I saw that it can easily fit inside my ABS pipe (my ABS pipe is 2”). so I'm hoping the guy will let me exchange it for the 2.5" size.

Please stop posting false information, this is the second post I've seen. Tube is held to a tolerance of .002 outside diameter, the bend dies are machined to .0001. If the tube is larger or smaller by so much as .003, it cant be bent. There is a 1.5-2% reduction of radius in the middle of the bend, the legs will retain straight tube tolerances.

I have no problem with you switching to a larger size, but I do not appreciate the sentiment that I would pull a fast one on my customers.

Re: its about damn time!!

Just to clear the air...Racing-Solutions measures their piping from the outside, they did not try to “pull a fast one”

I learned to measure it from the inside (as I thought everyone did it this way…maybe its just plumbers who did it this way ??? )...so this is where our miscommunication comes from. I don’t know what the standard is for automobiles or manufacturing, but as I said, this company measures their piping from the OUTER diameter, and I based my measurments on inner diameter.

That is all, the problem is resolved.

Re: its about damn time!!

pipe as in plumbing pipe abs/pvc ect is measured from the inner diamter

tubing as in exhaust tubing is measured from the outer diameter

Nice setup. I've always had this hidden love of the 1g tegs. take some day time pics of the car.
