Need help with ideas to make this work!


Ok so early this morning (Sneaky time when it was still dark) I drove to my local Exhaust Work Shop, walked around the back, opened the large bin to find a 6" long 3" diameter straight Exhaust Cutoff, and two 6" long 3" Diameter curved Exhaust Cutoff's.. And my plans are to make my own twin drift pipes..

My Ke70 is already running a 3" exhaust - Single pipe, but I want to cut it off about 8" from the rear of the car - Leaving me with a 3" exhaust running almost to the end of my keto without an exhaust tip..

I was wandering how I would go about making my own pipes though (How would I cut and weld them to fit)

My plan is just to cut the left curved pipe at roughly a 60 degree angle, going from the rear centre position of the pipe, across 60degrees to face the right hand pipe, which I would do the exact same cut to but on the opposite side, leaving the cuts facing each other, and leaving two 1.5' halfs at the end, and a full pipe at the beginning..

Then I want to weld the two cuts together, so that the pipes are joined leaving me with a 3" tip, running to two twin 3" pipes.. And then welding the single 3" end, to my 3" Straight pipe, and then my 3" straight pipe to my 3" cut off exhaust.

Looking something like this I guess....



Obviously there wouldnt be a gap in the end of the two pipes facing the exhaust, I just drew it like that, so you could see what my plan was for the angles...

Would this work? Has anyone done anything similar, and does anyone have any better ideas? Thanks.
