Default Mandrel bender in SoCal?

Need a shop that can mandrel bend 2.25" steel for a custom exhaust in SoCal. Not one shop in San Diego has a mandrel bender, just crush bend capability...so I'm willing to drive a ways North. Anyone?

Or you could settle for a good welder that can just take some mandrel J Pipes and make what ever section you need.

There are some crazy japanese that have made intake piping with Titanium and the angles are using dozens of <1" sections to make the bend. It's like a work of art!

But your right, finding a mandrel bender is pretty hard for most if not all the exhaust shops, it's too darn expensive for the mom&pop shops.

Bobs Muffler in Bako does, but might be a little further north than you wanted to go! They can bend up to a 4" in mandrel...
