[QUOTE="JSimon, post: 67884, member: 1094"] Rad, Why couldn't you have an adapter welded to the inlet of your slip-ons? Just about any stainless shop could swedge out an adapter and TIG weld it to the inlet after the existing stub was cut off. You can cut the inlet pipe down to about a 1/4" stub using a George Fisher cut off saw then Purge/TIG weld the new adapter on. I don't know who "Dale" is, I'm assuming it's the guy that actually manufactures/sells the slip ons. Did he mention something like this as an option? If you are given a hard time about being able to swedge the material, point out the fact that an adapter could also be turned on a lathe in like manner and welded the inlet after the stub was turned down. It's true that making an adapter such as this may move your outlets back by about 1/2". It looks as though the mounting hanger can be slid down making this a non issue as well. IMO this Dale fellow should handle the mod for you if these were truly supposed to slip right on. John [/QUOTE]
