I found that the Pipe Friendly Tape Measure by tekforce is far more accurate and cuts the hassle.
Commercial or residential and what manufacturer
Ribbed, bendable steel pipe used on combustion engine exhaust system.
With a tape measure.
Thermal expansion.An exhaust pipe gets up to 600 degrees or more. The coefficient of expansion of steel is 8 millionths of an inch per inch per degree. a 12 foot exhaust increasing (and decreasing) in temperature by 500 degrees will expand overall a little more than 1/2 inch. If the pipe were mounted solidly the mounting bracket would eventually break, or the pipe would break, from the strain put on it by the expansion.
