Hello guys, I have a busy weekend ahead of me, and I'm looking for some advice! I recently picked up some pacesetter long tubes, and off-road Bassani x-pipe for $140. Well I sanded them down, and painted the with some high temperature paint. The previous owner placed the x-pipe inside the long tubes collectors and then welded it together. when removed he cut them apart. (x-pipe 2.5 inch) As you can see in the images. I don't know if I should touch up the cuts and re weld the pipes together after the long tube install, or if I should get some more 2.5 inch pipe from the muffler shop, and figure out a way to get the old pipe out of the collectors. - Cody
