I have a kytp 76mm truck manifold kit i bought years ago and am just now getting ready to start my project, first thing I noticed I was shorted a piece to the cold side piping (too bad that company is not around anymore) but more importantly I noticed the cold side piping was not bead rolled. Is this common practice? should I have the piping bead rolled? If I dont will the couplers blow off under boost?

Are those a pair of pliers that were modified? Or can you provide a link to buy a set?
If you made them, nice job. I'm thinking I can make a set from some old pliers or channel locks, but ordering some for $4 is much more simple.
Thanks

Starts life as a pair of wire crimpers (price went up, was 3.99)
take off the nose in a grinder down to the crimper parts and just clean it up so there's no sharp edges.
forearm gets a workout but its cheap.
