I'm trying to hook my SLP Y pipe to my Flowmaster 3in catback and I need to fab a section of pipe with two 45 bends and about a 1 1/2 foot section of strait pipe.I can get the strait pipe locally but I can't find mandrill bent 45's.The strait pipe is gonna take place of a cat and the 45's are for tieing the strait pipe to the Y pipe and to the catback.Thanks in advance Bill

thats where i got my mandrel bends for my y-pipe. longer lasting and cheaper than other places.

 

At any muffler shop.....you won't have to wait.

 

Unfortunatly, not everyone is so lucky to live in an area were muffler shops can make mandrel bends for you. Most "any" muffler shops can make you a crap press bend n which case, you'd be the same off buying them from the shelf of Pep boys or somewhere similar.

This place sells them too which is about 10 mins. from me... http://www.secureperformanceorder.co...ProductID=5884

JCWhitney will probably your cheapest unless you're graced with a good exhaust shop near you.

 

I new JC Whitney has them,$20.99 each but I've alway's been kinda worried about there products quality.I can get 3in bent here locally but it's not mandrill bent and to get stuff bent 3 or bigger my exhaust guy says he has to fill the pipe with sand before he bends it and it's expensive.

 

NAPA - had it the next day, and no shipping cost.

 

You mean NAPA can order individual pieces of pipe?I thought all they could get was mufflers or replacement pieces for factory systems.

 

My local NAPA has a book listing individual bends and lengths of pipe, don't know about the rest of them.

 

Thanks I'll run by NAPA tomorrow and see if they can order me some.
