Default Stupid Question?

Here is the deal, I purchased a set of Rinehart slip ons on Ebay but did not realize the I.D. was 2" and my current head pipes (D&D true dual) accept the 1 3/4" or 1 7/8" slip ons. Any ideas on how to make this work or do I just need to bite the bullet and buy a set of Rinehart head pipes? Does Rinehart sell the step up head pipes by themselves?

It would not be hard to have sleeves made(may look odd) by a machine shop if none are availible OTC,or try selling them for the correct ones.

I thought about making a sleeve for it but wasn't sure it would affect the slip ons?

this is an easy fix. you can probably walk into a muffler shop and they'll have an adapter/bushing that would work. no need to spends anymore time or $$ than you need.
