Sorry for the question, but I have read and tried doing it, but I can't seem to get it. I do have a dremel, maybe I am not using it correctly? Thanks for any help..

Basically I am asking, how do you guys get those custom exhaust tips so smooth looking after being cut up?
Sorry.... "Use a tube cutter." ... Seriously, they're like $10 at your local auto parts store, and work wonders. If you have a vice, you can clamp the tubing into it with a cloth around it and very carefully hacksaw it, and it would likely come out straight, too...
