Be sure to bead the ends of the pipes. Ben didn't do that. While on the street I understand he didn't blow off couplers, on the track he blew them off constantly.

You can have a bead TIG welded onto the end or you can make a bead using epoxy. I used epoxy. It worked quite well. Check out the following site and look for their info on beading IC pipes. You'll have to strip the paint off the ends to make the beads and then repaint.
