[QUOTE="lee_812d, post: 169836, member: 5136"] When I did mine I originally did the flange square to the end of the pipe (A) but as the pipe is curved and the nut is not then the exhaust exits the nut not in the middle and the rest of the pipe did not line up with the brackets that well. When I redid it at a slight angle (B) so the exhaust exited the nut centrally the rest of the pipe lined up nicely with the fixing points and it looks better where it exits the nut. A small angle at the head will make quite a difference so you would have to make sure that the pipe fits the bike if this is done. The hole will be very slightly elliptical but not enough to matter. I think the important thing for good sealing is to make the flange well in one plane - I used a hammer so not perfect but the sealing washer copes. [ATTACH type="full"]58181[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
