Default I need of some mandrel bends
I need a couple 4" U bends to finish my exhaust this weekend, mild steel, not stainless. Anyone know where to find them?

Might want to check over on Turbo Mustangs. I use 90's for a reason though. You will find out soon enough im sure.

Nothing really all that special. 3" Y- no cats, flowmaster 3"-4" merge. Over the axle into a dynatec split flow oval. Only if I can stumble onto some bends........ Mike, why do you say to use a 90? So you can rotate left or right while going over the axle?

Think about a U bend. and think about a 90. There's difference in them adn the differences will save you alot of headache. I cant give away my build specs though. Else, i wouldnt be making a paycheck on sidework.

Both of them I use locally you need accounts to be setup there. And they supply me with ALOT therefore I dont give them out.

I know you could call HPP since there are on your side of town. Manny and Ozzie could get you some stuff. Im not sure where they get them from though.
