Here some pics of the way I did it, with Drill and Hammer.







I don't have any more pics from this point, but what I did next was used a file to smooth the edges. Then used 1/2 inch loom to line the hole with. The diagram below may also help.

I'll have to show you what it looks like now, we cleaned it up with a chisel. We did buy a hole cutter ($2 hole cutter? Try $12), anyways the old Black and Decker drill we had on hand didn't have the torque to cut through. So we just used what was on hand.

please dont do the ****ing hack job that I see on everyones cars.
You dont need 8" holes to run 2.5" I/C Piping through.

Also don't smash the metal out and fold it to the sides, thats so horrible.

Cmon, $12?

Go to Harbor Freight, they give them away for free plus a $10 mail in rebate, they'll even throw in a free 100 piece socket set and a wood chipper.

wow i thought there was just one harbor freight, i didnt know there was a chain of them. I bought a dremel and like 25 bits there for like 5 dollars.
