Keep custom intercooler pipes from blowing off.

Nice approach. I ran a weld bead around the end of mine to do the same thing - cheaper than another new tool at least, though not as pretty. Mine are aluminum, so the bead is soft, would want to be more careful with steel to make sure there weren't any sharp edges left to rip up the hose.

Just bought a pair of pliers for this. I'll be using it for a filler neck bead, but same difference!

Thanks

Yeah, that works well. Along the same lines I've also put a bead of JB weld on IC pipes before.

Cool. Are you making a setup like bike-maker posted in the pic? Or like the one in the video?

I'm going with the video version. I figured it could be used with more sizes of pipe, albeit with a bit more effort.

There's my thread on the filler neck work.

SIDENOTE: I did NOT need to modify the pliers at all to get them to work and make a bead in the exhaust pipe. Which is awesome because they are far superior to my other crimping pliers. Evidently there is no need to cut off the noses of the pliers

cool! I never even thought of using them as is.
