At what degrees should I cut them?

i bought a looong stack (over 6 feet) for 50 bucks and wanna cut it in 2 pieces, what angle should i go? 45* or less??

i think most run 45, would it look bad to cut them at 40 or less?

thanks? any pics of stacks less then 45*?

I'm pretty sure most miter cuts are 45 degrees. I think a smaller angle would look good and be something different. 30 degrees might look good for some stacks. Is the pipe 5" or 6"? I would think the smaller pipe would look better with a smaller angle than a 6" pipe would.

Go ahead and cut it . If ya like the way it looks - fine - if not cut it more. IMO I think 30degs would look great.
Good luck,

Or you could get creative with the plasma cutter and cut some flames into them

i think 45*'s would look the best IMO

lol cool... never thought about it! hmmm a shop about 1/2 mile away from me could do that!

another two votes for 30 and one for 45* ....

hmmm that confuses me...

oh the stack is 5 inch!

any one else? pics maybe?...

I personally like 30 or even 22.5 which is still a nice amount. Alot of people don't realize that there miters arn't 45 anyway!!!

An example of this is a 5" stack...a 45* angle will have the bottom edge of the cut down 5" from the top leaving a huge amount of exposed inside pipe!

My brother thought he wanted 45's untill he saw it cut and he landed up going with 22.5* and it looked alot better!!!!
