Stock OD off the SMIC (petrol) from pancake end is 60mm. What size is the new IC?

If its 50mm, chop the silicone and get a 50mm aluminum pipe with a 50mm silicone connection.

Make your own pancake pipe!
1 x 90 degree (50mm) pipe
1 x 75 degree (50mm) pipe
1 x 50mm Silicone
1 x 50>60mm Silicone reducer that should still slide onto the 62mm pipe.
? x jubilees or clamps



Don't forget to bead the pipes, otherwise they will pop off  :grin:
