Mandrel bends are bought as seperate parts and
welded together, thus the reason for making sure you know what bends and how
many you need.

So do you mandrel bend a straight pipe at your work or weld up
different bends to straight pieces of pipe?

Daniel, we can supply u with bends if u
need them. We have 20,30,45,90 (few others aswell) stainless 3" bends
in stock. There not too expenisive at all i dont think. Your
going to have to get the system spot on otherwise u will scrape the crap out
of it!! I wouldnt attempt it unless i had all the equipment needed
tho. Have u done much welding? Do u have access to a hoist? Do u have
a bench saw? Linisher? Stands? Another thing with mandrel systems, you never
really know what degree of bend u need until your up to that point so its
hard to say exactly how many bends of what kind u need. Its alot harder than
press bend systems! The Walker cat is ok i guess but NO muffler? That will
be damn loud i tell ya! I would put a small muffler in just to keep it down
a bit. I can understand why u would want to do it yourself, we charge
around the $1100 to $1700 mark for full 3" stainless systems!! Nearly the
cost of the Z18et itself!!! Hope this helps u. ScottDavo

Mandrel Bent Exhausts
List, I'm
looking at the possibility of making my own 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust
when I drop in my Z18et. I plan to use only a 3 inch hi flow
Walker cat and no muffler. I know that the whole exhaust is welded
together rather than press bent and fitted but do I buy the pipe and get
it bent myself (which seems that it would just be the same as a press bent
exhaust) or can I buy pre bent 3 inch pipe sections? Any tips on
building my exhaust system? Cheers, Daniel KroehnRecommending DATRATS, supplying quality DATSUN performance
