As some of you know im doing a M3 CSL style intake on my GLI...

Well my velocity stacks (the bumper pipes) came in just now and they are alot thicker around the edges then i expected:tdown:....

So i was wondering if anyone knew of a metal shop or a person that could trim them for me for free:tup2:

Thanks

yes there too thick... its like dime thckness... and it kinda hard to cut in a peferct circle... and the dremel doesnt do much.

if you can get your hands on a pipe cutter, or take it to an exhaust shop, they should have all the pipe cutting tools you could ever need

Use an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel and clean it up with a grinding wheel.

I'd help you with it but I have zero time these days.
