I was wondering if anyone knows of any place that will rent you a pipe expander. Or even how much do you think a muffler shop would charge me to just expand my over the axle pipe? I am wondering because I am going from my stock 2.25 pipe to a 3 inlet on the muffler. Thanks a lot!

Re: Pipe Expander???
I had to get the Y pipe outlet on my pacesetters expanded a bit to fit over my 3" cat. They don't charge you...just tip the tech that does it for you. I gave the dude 5 bucks.

Re: Pipe Expander???
Yeah but I am going to cut my muffler off my car and then drive it to the shop and have a guy expand it and then I am going to drive back to my buddies shop and then put the muffler and everything else on. Do you think that my I pipe and over the axle pipe will be able to hang there for about 5-6 miles to and from the shop. because if that is what I will have to do then that is what I will.Comment

Re: Pipe Expander???
BLLDOGG how much will you be able to expand the pipe. Will it only go like 1/4 to 1/2" or more? I would like to be able to go 3/4 so i can have my stock over the axle with a 3" out into my magnaflow. if not then I will just oput a reducer on.Comment

Re: Pipe Expander???
No, you definitely can't expand your pipe that much. I know with a 3" pipe you're pushing it if you expand more than 1/16". Expand the pipe too much and it'll split.
And yes BLLDOG, my pipe was already expanded, but it needed to be expanded just a bit more to fit on my cat like I said.1998 M5 3.8 Mystic Teal Camaro<br />Flowmaster exhaust, Pacesetter headers, 3\" cat, 3\" S-pipe, whisper lid, ram air, Spec Stage 1 clutch, Poly Trans mount, Walbro 255LPH.

Re: Pipe Expander???
pipe expanders are only designed to expand the pipe so that the inner diameter matches the original outer diameter. It'd probly be alot easier and alot less hassle to do a reducer like you said, they're pretty cheap at autozone.Rebuilding the engine... Building a custom front end... T-top conversion...
