    Hi Tod,
    you are right, of course. Pulling a steel egg through a double wall pipe would only re-shape the inner pipe and you'd have to do it cold, too.
    OTOH, so long as the pull-through does work on a cold tube, it's only the inner that needs to be re-sized, after all.
    So long as the dents don't bother you, that is.

      the kerker on my bike had some rust forming where all of the pipes meet up . I didn't want to paint over all the good chrome so I sandblasted all the rusty areas and used vht silver exhaust paint to cover where I blasted , it's holding up pretty well so far , not a perfect match but at least it won't rust any more .

        I AM SO PISSED!!!

        I got the exhaust for 95$ ... It cost me 90$ for the shipping. And even worst, whrn I unwrapped it I discovered holes in the headers tubes where the connect all together. And It has some welding on it already. The welders at my job told me it was not fixable at this point. The muffler itself is in great condition but the rest is pure scrap.

        I was looking all night for just the header for the kerker and I couldn't find any.

        Should I send everything back and look for another kit or try to find another header?

        Help me guys!!!

        PS: since i tought about wrapping it with exhaust wrap I tough I might put some muffler cement where are the holes and wrap it. It should do the trick for cheap... What do you think?

            Yeah but a 4 in 1 for so cheap is a rare occasion. I'll try to get a 50$ back out of it and keep it. I think It a good option.

              Hi Max,
              you should hang around with a better class of welder.
              A skilled oxy-acetylene man with a small enough jet in his torch can fix just about anything.
              And you are f**ked for the shipping anyway.
