I've been pondering this for weeks and have come to no conclusion. Maybe 1 of you guys could think of something.

Basically, i have all the templates for my exhaust pipe layed out, all the math, everything.

Everything except a way to roll the metal. The metal rolls into funnel shapes.

Thats the hard part, rolling the metal.

If you can think of any way to do this, toss up your idea. I don't care how dumb or retarded it sounds, it may spark an idea for me.

A slip roll would be the best... maybe a local trade school or a HVAC shop would have the tool and could do that for you cheap or free

You'll find these small hand crank rolls run about 20K less than the ones in the first videos...
