Default cfl exaust shops

does anybody mandred bend in the cfl area?

also if not is there a shop that can do good work otherwise... Most of the daytona shops arent up to doing TD's over the axle even if they had the mandrel bends ??

If i cant find a shop with a mandrel bender i might modify a tsp rumbler setup to have a cutout and over the axle section that has tips and a muffler that way no mandrel baneing would be nessiary because the all bends up to the cutouts would be free flowing and who cares is its clogged up with the cutouts closed?

that looks good. apparently there are a lot of local places that do 2 1/2 mandrel, but not 3. i WANT 2 1/2 because i'm not planning on having NEAR the hp for dual 3" anytime soon... plus ground clearance, etc, but i'm yet to find these places. Anyone know the rough prices for mandrel bending in relation to regular exhaust?

im really thinkin to do the tsp setup and then just do reg bends for the over the axel section since it will be after the cutouts it wont affect the times im raceing and i really dont care how restrictive it is when i have the cutouts closed

but i still need t find a reasonable shop thats skilled enough to do it right because i know over the axle is kinda difficult and i dont really want some sloppy *** **** banging round under there
\
BTW blue cajin who did that and how much did they charge?

have some one mock one up with regular bends. Then order the mandrel bends you would need to remake it. Muffler Man in NSB did my old y-pipe out of mandrel pieces. It turned out great. Also basaini makes a kit that does that and bmr makes a panhard bar relocator to give you more room. Good luck with the new project.
