Need pipes bent.

Is there anyone on this entire site who is a pro pipe bender or works somewhere where pipe can be bent? Or even kmnows someone? I am getting ready to run dual 3" exhaust on my 84 Z28 and I have to get the pipes specially bent for my car. Problem is all the places around me wil not touch it because they dont want to mess with the catand the fact that it is going to be a very tight fit. All i need is the bent pipe and i can do the rest my self. This is the only thing holding me back right now.


Thanks Drew

I can try that. I just dont want them to scrap my high flow cat because we have to have emmissions tests done every year. Its crap. But yeah I will try that and thanks for the help.

There are muffler shops that will do it. I know the local one I went to wouldn't even ask questions if I told them to do it. You can always tell them its a drag strip only car and you don't run it on the street.

Just a side question: Isn't true dual 3" pipes on a 305 a bit much?

It could be a little much but wouldn't also be gettting the maximum exhaust flow? What about 2 3/4 pipes? would that be better? I am just curios Im not saying your wrong you could be right. I want to do this so that I et ore power and better sound out of my car.

If you're running true duals 2 3/4" is more than enough. Even for a 350.
