Columbia River Mandrel I had the opportunity to pick my stuff in person today, meet the owner and get the nickel tour. Who knows, I might have seen them make your bend!
Nice folks. Car guys to boot.
Consider them for your turbo stuff.
Their vbands are nice. The flanges are made in house. Also make nice rolled cone transitions. And the flex couplers look good too.

I have used them and they do have nice stuff and i will keep using them. But Dam it takes them forever to ship the stuff you order. I'm talking almost two week to get my order & they are on the same coastline as me.

I ordered their 3" ss ultimate builder kit on Monday, tracking says it will be here tomorrow. I guess shipping depends on inventory, it's quality parts made in house. Finally a company not willing to use Chinese made junk!

yep I'll always use them for all my mandrel bend needs. They are on top of everything right down to the availability on their website. If it's listed on their website then they have it in stock and made. If you don't see it on there then they are in the process of making more. Once they're in stock they put the items back up on the website. Good quality products and the fairest prices over a lot of other companies. Fast shipping.

One thing I may suggest to them is an option for longer legs on the bends. I could have used that.
I picked up the 5" to 4" reducer today. Nice gradual transition

Great company, used they since they were tiny. Very nice and helpful people. Always good communication when they don't have things I order in stock and usually offer to break the shipments up. Also can't beat their prices!

About the bending lube, it is a water soluble lube, so hit the bends with a garden hose sprayer and all of it will wash right out and you'll have nice clean parts!!
