RE: [doc] Flared tailpipes

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham@xxxx>]

They are welded on from the rear (nearest the car) no need to make a 100%
job, they are only for looks.
I suppose you could make them half an inch longer , cut a few slots on them
and then "scrunch up " the end ( nearest the car) with an exhaust or Jubilee
clip.

Okay (you're gonna love me for this) how are the flares attached? Is there a
smaller tube on the inside to slot over the
original pipe?

Cheers!
