what do you use for cutting a hole for the pipe?

Lexan scissors work fine. It's easier to cut from the enge of the body up to where the pipe will sit and back down...kind of like an oval. That way you can lift your body off easier without having to fumble with getting the stinger through the hole.

With the Car resting on a table, I push the body where the stinger is to mark the spot, then cut up and around with body sissors. Then use a Sanding Drum on a Dremel to clean it up. An Exacto knife blade works great to scrape off the rough edges.
A hole just reamed through the body, always tears out with a couple of hits, or the pipe stinger get coverd by the body and shuts the engine off (DNF).
