Thats not strictly true!

If you band them at home its illegal but if you take them somewhere and have them cut properly and them welded up un a proper way its legal. there are a few companys who do it in the uk and weld them i robotic welders. All above board!

Search on driftworks for it as the detail are on there 8)
