    Yes, it's not easy! You using a wooden plug to help keep everything straight and true ? You might need to get a good brand of hole saw.

    I am in Australia so I'm not sure what brands are available in Blighty and Oz ? I went to the Plumbing section bought hole saw kit there, hope that helps. You need to get guide drill centered, as otherwise you will be drilling along/down one side of the tubing.

    They sound sooooo good. Even a pal of mine, die-hard harley fan, loves the noise.

    I went for "Forans" short slash cuts, have a removable baffle, so can be louder or quieter ( comparatively speaking lol ). Runs. Sounds. Awesome....
