    Need to measure the diameter of my exhaust pipe, might be getting an endurance scilencer for the bike next week so just wondering how i can measure the pipe to see if it fits.

    I dont have a micrometer either so suggestions welcome :nerd:

    take a piece of cardboard, cut a square out of it and keep increasing the square until it fits over the exhaust, then measure the piece that has been cut out in the cardboard ;)

    get a piece of string, wrap it round the exhaust and measure it where it meets, say for example this number is 200mm (example)

    pi X (r X r) = 200 so...
    3.14 X (r X r) = 200 so...
    200 / 3.14 = r X r so...
    64 (rounded) = r X r so...
    8 = R so....
    16 = D



    piece of fucking piss.

    you could do it that way but the cardboard method is easier, some kid in my school could remember pie to 100 places :msn1:
