I need to buy some exhaust mandrel bends. I am looking through Summit and Jegs and they have bends ranging from 4.5" to 6" radius bends.

Which should I go for or does it matter. I would assume the 6" if I have room but I am not sure.

Thanks, Mike.

 

What are you trying to make? If your just cutting them up then I would probably prefer the shorter radius, It helps turn the pipe a little quicker to get it arond obstructions in the engine bay. If your using the whole u-bend, then I guess it depends on what your trying to get around. There are sources for u-bends on the web that are much cheaper then Summit or Jegs.

I am running my intercooler to up front. I am basically making the whole system over so yes I will be cutting and welding.

Where are these sources? I checked about 4 or 5 places but they were all more expensive. Let me know of any please.

Thanks, Mike.

 

Here is one I found that is cheaper: http://www.magnumforceracing.com/ubend.asp

magnumforceracing sells their 3" ubend for 25.99. Jegs is 19.99

See what I mean? I can't find any online place cheaper than Jegs.
