Bryan,
My pipe does NOT look like this. See how the left side is shorter in the above pic? The pipe I have is 2 left sides welded together. I would say my pipe is at least 2" shorter than what is depicted above.
Because of this, I am having a heck of a time lining up the pipes (as you can see in my posts). I did not even think of this, but I should have looked at Balrock01's pipes when I was over at his house to see what his looked like. crap.
