If you used a shrinking hammer could you reduce 6"ID pipe down to 6" OD?

You would need a BIG one Hopper. I have a panel beaters hammer but it is only suitable for thin metal and used while the metal is red hot. Much easier to cut and weld as already suggested.

The hydraulic hose makers use a press to squeeze a swage around the end of hose fittings to reduce its diameter but that is special purpose build machine, not suitable for this application.

There is a length of stainless tube at Scrap Palace in Hamilton NZ, about six inches or so diameter, and maybe 3/16 or so wall thickness. They would happily sell you the whole length, maybe 3 or 4 metres but I don't think they have the means to cut it. I didn't have any measuring equipment with me but they could measure it.
