    Can someone bend piping for me?

    Here in Germany they don't bend new exhaust pipes they just buy it pre fabbed. I want to run new pipes cat back and put 2 glasspacks on there. I have heard it and they sound great.
    So does anyone have access to a bender that can bend and mail me some. It could be in 2 sections as I have a welder.

    i have a hard time believing that no one in germany has a pipe bender. it also depends if you want mandrel or crush bends.

          It most likely won't be mandrel. I doubt anyone has an $80,000 machine just laying around to bend pipe for this guy. Your best bet might be angle cuts and welding them together to get the fitment you want.

            well thats what i meant. if he wants mandrel bends, i understand that it may be difficult to find someone to do it. crush bends, any muffler shop can do.

              If you can't do any of the suggested, I would suggest doing some "pie cuts" in the piping to get it curved.

                  I am but that is a 2 hour drive just to bend some pipe. But might be worth it. although it is only about $15 for a 180 from summit.

                  Ok so if I do but the pre bend and weld it up. i was thinking 2" dual does that sound right.
                  I have asked all around to Germans that are car guys and no one knows of anyone in the area that bends pipe, just like they don't turn brakes they just replace the disks. I pull them out of scrap metal, turn them and put them on friends cars all the time. Thanks for the responses

                      Just do this....


                      Basically a couple 45ish bends and turn downs.

                      Glasspacks suck.
