I up sized the MBT vent tubing on my 350 to 1" and so I need to have it
wrap around the con until it gets below the external exhaust valve and the
con is 24" dia. I have the sand and the tubing already so I'll let everyone
know how it comes out.
Those tube rollers are nice but you need a dye for ever size tube you want
to roll which can get expensive unless you only roll one size all the time.
