Tube flaring question
I've got some 2" steel pipes about 6"long that I want "flaring" out at the ends. Is it called flaring? Once again car
terminology gets the better of me and I've no idea. Like a ram pipe:
Is this something I could get done by taking it to an exhaust place or would they not have the machines for it?
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

They are made from spinning the ali (I think).
What you are after is a "Rolled Edge (or rolled end) I think...

Thanks Steve, "rolled edge" helps when searching etc. Just need to find somewhere to get them made now ^_^...

yep they are made from metal spinning,
look for metal spinning in your equivalent of the yellow pages. this is the same process used to make pots and pans. They also use the process to
make very light wheel rims for racing cars, and mandrel bends for your exhaust pipes, this might give you some ideas of where to get someoene to do it
for you.

Aluminium ram pipes are formed that way? I'm after steel pipes bent back on themselves like a mushroom, I know it can be done, I just have no
idea where to get it done. I've been round a few engineering/welding places this morning in town but no luck so far
