I've used them for my smaller stuff, but needed tighter radius bends for downpipe. I went with woolf aircraft...not cheap, but can get bend radii the same as the diameter of the pipe

The last vehicle we did we bought a 4" diesal exhaust -stainless for $450. Worked perfect and alot cheaper than individual bends.

If I remember correctly, I believe FLP said they could do mandrel bends with 4" pipe. I would give them a quick call.

If you only need a few try a local auto parts store that carries walker heavy duty parts, i purchased some 4 and 5 inch bends from my local Auto Value for pretty good prices.

If you need really tight bends, search for 4-6" donuts, which are welded up 2-piece donut rings of tubing you can cut to size. I've found them in aluminum, mild steel and stainle$$.
