I'm looking to get real creative here trying to run some Hooker long tubes with my T56 and spohn cross memeber. So I was lookin' at something like this to try and fab something up for myself

I was also lookin' at getting a welder also to complete the project. But as far as the bender goes...I've heard that if you fill the pipe up with sand before you bend it, the sand will keep the tubing that lays inside of the bending die from collapsing on itself therefore leaving a mandrel or close to it bend.. Heard that from serveral people so I was wondering if there might be any truth in that. Any of you guys know?

If you fill the pipe with sand and cap the ends, you can do a pretty decent job...takes practice, though. I wouldn't buy one for exhaust exclusively. I also do conduit and roll cages, so it was a cost effective purchase for me. If your not careful, you can mangle exhaust pipe real well with one.
