Does anyone know who can do mandral bends in pipes around here? Im seeing how much it would be for a custom exhaust to be bent as compared to aftermarket. I am sick of cheap crush bent pipes.

 

there is a guy here in Waterford that does that stuff..the company is called Forrest Auto.......this guy does really really good work....He does almost everything in house......the Number is 248-673-9562......then you got Clarkston Muffler & Brake.they do some good work......the Number to there is....248-625-1384

 

Right next door to Selfridge.

 

I've had Forrest do stuff for me..great guy awsum prices!
Heck he did my very first system on the Hawk back in '94!

 

Yes but they recently moved on Irwin Dr. off of the South River Rd. exit.

 

awesome, I had no idea Spartan Muffler had a mandral bender. Ima hafta hit em up for some ideas on the exhaust on my truck.

 

I wish I'd known about Spartan, as Tuffy/Midas/Lentz all chickened out and wouldn't touch the project unless I caved in for 2 1/4 off-the-shelf muffler and piping. I'm in the last stages of building my own custom exhaust that I created by buying mandrel-bent tubes from Jegs, laboriously cutting them up, and spot-welding them with an oxy torch. What a PITA! Bannasch Welding is finishing off the welds and I hope to have the exhaust fabrication done by tonight so that I can paint it.

Essentially, I created a custom 2 1/2 inch Hooker Aerochamber cat-back exhaust from Y-pipe on back to a Borla tip for my Jeep Grand Cherokee. I even had to cut apart the Hooker muffler to make it work. I sure hope it sounds as good as I think it should.

 

Still next door to selfridge, just a different side.

 

I just finished up the exhaust last night and it sounds just fine! However, I didnt pick up any SOTP power so I suspect the manifolds and Y-pipe are a major restriction now. FWIW, here's some of the pictures:

hmmm - that Jeep looks awefully familiar!
