Should have just purchased the ETS LICP, might have saved you some time and money.

It's the cheap mod but costly when I have to get the other pipe back together. I painted the silver section gloss black so it matches. I'll take some pic when I get home tonight and post it back again.

lol...do you honestly believe you're going to gain anything from this..except for the headaches you're giving yourself. As another poster mentioned...should've just bought an ETS licp and been done with it.

Have a welding shop throw down a small bead around it. Or you could try a JB Weld bead. I've head of people having success with it if prepped and done correctly.

Not a bad idea but you might be blowing pipes off left and right.

Went to a Race Fab shop and they can weld it together for $40. Good idea?
Anyways, here is the latest pic of the LICP. I'm probably going to bring the original end of the LICP and have them fabricate one to that same exact length and bend.

The pic you're going to see is side-by-side comparison.
