stainless steel wire brush
i use a mix of 7, 10 and 15* since im usually trying to squeeze tubes around tight areas. it looks a little goofier but it allows a little more flexibility in fitment. i also will cut a few different lengths so i can mix and match to get the tube where i want it.

We really like how much the pie cuts let you change the angles quick and easy plus fitment is key when you are building twin turbo kits for a wide array of vehicles like corvettes and camaros. We do have more room in the silverados and sierras but this helps us manipulate the DP for better fitment.

Any time man, I have no problem giving credit where credit is due. That is due some credit, haha. Love working with SS tubing.
I use a ss wire brush, dynafile or pedestal grinder with a unitized wheel to finish my ss.
What are you using to cut the tubing?
This is going to turn into a **** thread, with all this pie

Nice. I'll have to give them a try. I've been using 4.5, not sure why. I cant remember if I saw on YouTube or Instagram but, it seems to work out.

We use a band saw for must cutting but we also other saws if needed as well. So the pictures above show what our pipe used to be and then the DP with all the pie cuts is our new revision to the DP. These pipes are made for my C5 corvette twin turbo kit where fitment is a key player.
That looks great, you do some fine work. C5, talk about confined space. You have any shots of it installed?
Its amazing how much you can manipulate the tubing with a simple twist.

Wow, looks brand new. Looks like score to me 
Mark the top and bottom of the tubing that you will be cutting with a marker so when you do your cuts you spin it and you'll have identical cuts each time.
To make each cut the same length, clamp a small piece of steel to the saw at the desired length and voila. Each piece will be the same length every time.
Man, that looks great. Nice job.
I was going to guess around 8 to 10 hours.
