i have a pretty fair set of hes where some dapo trimmed the tops of the hoops. both hes, both hoops on the outside. prob some feeble effort to tighten/seal an exhaust leak up real good. i need the dimension from the top of the hoop to the top of the pipe. as many measurements as i can get so i can determine if the good hoops still workable and the hes are salvageable. ether 2.0 or 1.7/1.8. pictures show the issues. tia.
