Default Need A Cheap Place For Mandrel Bends

I'm looking for some mandrel bends to finish up my exhaust. I found a place that sells 2 45*s, 2 90*s, and 2 180*s for about $80 shipped for 2.5" pipe, just wondering if anyone knows of some place cheaper? I can get all of the straight sections locally for cheap, but the bends are pretty expensive for what you get and it might not be enough to get my exhaust done.

But post if you know of a place that sells them cheaper. Thanks in advance

In the past for good old mild steel. I have gotten Dynomax bends from Advanced Auto Parts. I bought three, 3" 180* bends, for $20 each. Matter of fact, I think I still have them laying around. I think they took a day to get, it has been a while.

2 -45's 2- 90's and 2- 180's all for $80 shipped?? and you want cheaper than that. Probably won't find it. I sell those over the counter all day for $30 per bend. The grab bag deal sounds good, as long as you can work with whatever you get.

I know its pretty cheap and the bends usually go for about $20 each plus shipping, but I was just checking to see if anyone knew of a cheaper place. I looked on ebay, but the box he only had 2.25, 2.75, 3, and 4" boxes. I need some 2.5" pipe, guess I'll order another box for the guy I bought them from before.

Thanks guys

You are not going to find a better deal than what you got.. the only cheap alternative I know of is to get the Jegs U-fit it exhaust kit for around $200. That includes 12 different Mandrel bends. Its cheaper than buying piece by piece for sure but then you will have a bunch of leftovers to deal with.

Yeah I was going to order the Jegs kit, but I'm pretty broke right now and spending another $200 to have a bunch of left overs isn't an option right now.

Good news though I got a magnaflow daul in and daul out muffler with an internal x pipe for $70 shipped and its brand new so I'll have 2 x pipes in my exhaust LOL. Just hoping it sounds good, but is fairly quiet at least quieter than my dumped bullets. Heres the specs on the muffler

I'm mounting it in the stock location and running a copy of the SLP 2OTL. Hopefully I will get rid of all my drone and fumes with the new setup.
