If you're not too picky, you *can* just use some pliers and "flare" out the ends of the pipes.

I had to cut the pipe in my Greddy FMIC kit, so that it wouldn't hit the brake master-cylinder (it's a JDM kit), so I chopped off the beaded/lipped end. I just took pliers and flared it out. It was easy and it's NEVER been an issue. Then again, I was dealing with pretty thin-walled aluminum.

Just a FYI Turbo Technology in Tacoma will do it for $5 a bead.
