Tools & Fabrication - Exhaust tubing bender?

Anyone have any recommendations for an exhaust tubing bender? I am trying to fabricate my own headers so 1-3/4 or 1-7/8" Tubing. Any leads on a relatively inexpensive unit would be really appreciated. Thanks

Buy bends, there is no cheap mandrel bender, and no point using a crush bender, that still costs $$$$$.

In the end, it is still cheaper to just buy headers..... When you factor in time, materials, and equipment.

Just materials will be more than you probably imagine.

these are a full custom job, front mount turbo. So, I kinda need to make em myself. but yeah, I sort of did the math and for a one off job its cheaper just to buy.

It really is cheaper to buy. Unless its a tool your going to use nearly everyday, it really doesnt pay. Unless you have money like that.

yeah, once i realized how much even the cheapest ones that are worth the money are, I am going to just buy my bends.

My bud's unit was near $400K!
