I took a break from fabricating car parts at work in my off time.. I could've finished the intercooler this past weekend but decided to do some noisy work on the car which I otherwise wouldn't do at night during the week. Exhaust tip things!

Earlier this week I quickly made some tips so I could start mocking things up this weekend and get to cutting...

Just eyeballing the tips after measurement, to see what it's like in person proportions-wise...

Getting the location the same on both L+R sides, lasers are the best....

I didn't take any progress pics of the cutting because it was so laboursome and hot outside.. I used a jigsaw and trimmed slightly inside the marked line, then used a fine rounded file to trim the last 1/16" by hand/eye while referencing a 4.5" round slug I found at work. Surprisingly there wasn't any chipping/flaking or other issues, and I painted the cut edge with rust inhibitor clearcoat...
