Straight Pipe Newell Coach! "Ruined" A Once Million Dollar Motorhome? (Detroit Series 60)

What happens here

The old muffler is so large it has two 90-degree bends inside it that direct the exhaust. The new exhaust setup uses two 90-degree bends connected by a straight pipe. One of the 90-degree bends is too long and sits too low. To correct this, a section of the bend needs to be cut out. The video shows this being done with a bandsaw, as the creator doesn't have a chop saw available. After cutting, the modified pipe sections are tack-welded together to maintain their shape for fitting.

Goal: Modify the new exhaust pipes to fit correctly.
