Anyone have a bead roller around? I need to make a custom little pipe, I dont have the vehicle in front of me, so I'm going by memory - but basically, I have a 2" header pipe, and a 2.25 bike canister (muffler)

Th pipe will need to be ~4" long, with one end sliced so that I can clamp it to the header, and the other end I will need flared up to 2.25" and then bead rolled, but the bead will need to be set i about 1" from the end. This way the muffler will slide over the pipe and butt up against the bead. From there I will weld 2 small loop hooks, and a spring on either side - pulls the canister in against the bead.

Heres a quick pic I made,

Anyone help me make something like that?

On the far right, you can see the lip that would butt up against the bead, where my little pipe would slide into the can. And the spring loops are there as well, to hold it together.
