if the nut is hitting the weld on the flange you could always grind it with a angle grinder . and to answer your question that's how blacksmiths did it :thumbsup:

I was thinking he was wondering if the coals would get hot enough to do this. At least that was my first thought when I read it. I'd imagine there would have to be a real big time blacksmith-esq fire pit going with a whole lot of stoking.

I've been wondering if those disposable plumbers torches can heat a pipe enough to bend it. I'm guessing yes if coals will do it.

I have tried that. It doesn't make enough heat to get everything red the entire circumference of the pipe. I am thinking hot coals from a fire and a little air blown in may work. Wife won't let me put a minibike in the fireplace, so I have not tried that!

You can pack the tube with sand and cap the ends it will keep the pipe from crimping during the bending and will provide a nice smooth bend
!!!Make sure to not seal the pipe so hot gasses can escape when heated if they become trapped or can not escape fast enough you have a bomb on your hands !!!!

One of those asphalt torches from harbor freight you hook to a propane tank will get it glowing hot. They're loud when fully flowing and work great for melting ice on the driveway lol

How about some pics on this. Something isn't right if the stock exhausted doesn't fit right.
