Attaching an exhaust tip?

[harley james!]

I have a 2.5" exhaust and i got a 3" dump tip, i was wondering if anybody could tell me the best way to attach this or where i could possibly take it to get it attached as i've never welded before. thanks

If you have not welded before just get an exhaust place to do it.. You can always pop rivet it if you handy with a tool?

[harley james!]

So an exhaust shop would do it if i took it? would it be pricey or?

Pop rivet is a possible one, but might end up looking a bit off since the tip is a bit bigger than the actual exhaust tho..

ummm, lol? so its a 3 inch pipe, and its going on a 2.5 inch pipe? sooo.... its a bit bigger? think your gonna need more than pop rivets

you want something like this ... 2.5"-3" step adaptor



Then you use rivets or exhaust clamps

well i've been told that if i take it to an exhaust place they can shrink around the pipe and then weld it on or something like that..
