Building the tail pipes

[COKE]

Hi,
Has someone around here built his own exhaust tail pipes ?
I,m  building my own 2.5" exhaust system and the taipipes are hard to do.
If so,did you use a pipe bender or did you conect diferent degrees  pipe bends?
All the sugestions will be welcome.

i think there's companys that make jsut the tail pipe sections of the exhaust and sell them as kits...but i can't remember who...

The problem with bending your own pipes is that you end up with a compression bend which is restrictive and hurts flow. If you're upgrading you might as well do it right and use mandrel bent pipes. There's a few companies out there that sell nice mandrel bent exhaust systems...well worth the money inmo.

or you can by the mandrel bends and weld it up that way if you want it to be custom

I would buy the taipipes ,Summit has a nice set from flowmaster for $100.
The trouble is i,m from Spain,and the shipping costs for this long parts are around the $ 370
So i need to build something here.

Thanks.

Do you mean if i bend the pipes my self or with the help of a pipe bender tool?
I have seen some cheap hidraulic benders on ebay.I don,t know if they work fine or not.

  I bought one of them 16 ton pipe benders from Harbor Freight. What a POS !!!!   Don't waste your money. They should have named it a Pipe Kinker.
