X2. The off-road race teams are all bored right now, since all the races are postponed. I bet if you stopped by with the parts and a 30 pack, they'd gladly do it up for you in 30 mins..Take it to a Fab shop and have it fit and TIG welded by a pro. Where are located?
You can make a sleeve out of chipboard, like 12pk or cereal box, the same diameter as the small tube. Mimic the angle, and trim a small fishmouth in top, larger in bottom. Use small scissors or dikes, and you can slowly "sneak up on it". When you ave it sitting how you like it, verify your clocking, and transfer the pattern to your tube. Use a sharpie, this gives you about an 1/8th inch line. Use that to cut to, but leave some of the line. This leaves your piece slightly oversize, but gives you some adjustment room. If possible, finish your fit filling across the fishmouths on plane with the adjoining tube, it helps to keep the wall thickness consistent.
It sucks, time consuming, but it works. Sometimes it's still better than tooling up for something you may only do once or twice.
Please tell us that you used any empty roll and didn’t waste any TP.....I played around with a toilet paper roll for a little while and made a sharpie outline.
Let’s see what it’s going on!
Do this. ^^^^^^If you used a bend on the wastegate you could stack the tubes instead of having to do any odd angle tube fitting.
Bendtech - tubing bend program will do thisI used to use a site that would let you print a paper pattern of the cut. Been a long time. Can't remember site.
beat me to it. we use it alot. we did 1 tube from the front beam all the way out the back on a buddies class 5 car. Bendtech gives all the info and notch patterns. well worth the money.Bendtech - tubing bend program will do this
Their versions have gotten better and better over the years. I think the last time I upgraded was a few years back. Haven't used it in awhile, but to take a 20' stick of tubing and put 7 different bends at different degrees and axis is pretty awesome, once you get past the learning curve.beat me to it. we use it alot. we did 1 tube from the front beam all the way out the back on a buddies class 5 car.

or like has already been said, a empty TP roll as a template and sneak up on it.
