Post Beer Can Thickness
Has anyone ever measured da thickness of an alluminum 10oz. Miller Lite can?
I need to know if I should go buy a feeller gauge or if I can just use a piece of beer can to set my valves.

Ya I don't blame ya I was about a 12 pack deep at that point. Beer goes down alot easier when you don't have to drive. Thanks coondik those pipes came a long way had to do some custom work to them but I really like the way they turned out too.

Really mine are just modified gecker pipes. I just don't tell anyone that because I don't want people thinkin gecker does quality work like that. If you could find some stainless round mufflers you could make a bad arse set.
