Hey guys I've recently been mounting my intercooler on my KE70. I bought a universal piping kit from ebay that has 2 of everything. Now most of them are too long and need cutting down.
So I searched around for a pipe beading tool and the cheapest was like $140 which I can't warrant for minimal use. I searched on here and found nothing but a google search revealed a few sites showing this easy DIY tool. I know how most of us on here love DIY and saving money doing home jobs of anything we can.
So all you need is:
1 Pair of Vice Grips
1 Large Washer
1 Exhaust clamp to the size pipe you have

I made a set myself it is a pain in the butt to use them. You just close them and re open them all the way around. Takes between 5-10mins each. Still it cost me $0 since I had all the bits laying around.
