Why not just buy the H-pipe that's made for the long tubes?
I'm sure you could just measure and cut your h-pipe shorter if you had to.......
That's a good question though.

I would think you could do that. That's a hell of a lot of work. You can get one for $120.

i did it a while back and it worked great, as long as you cut and place the flanges correctly

Here's an idea: Buy the long tube h-pipe from Summit or somewhere and use it as a reference as to where to cut your h-pipe and then send it back.
