Hey anyone in the north dallas area do mandrel? Ill have to call Lane's again I forgot if they used the bends from the DR. gas setup or what.... I went to jerry's who doesnt do mandrel and Im unhappy with what I ended up with, not Jerry's fault I just handed him some stuff to chop together when I really needed more. So I want to do it right and for good this time, just like some suggestions :yeah:

i think nascar.com has a mechanic search...maybe you could do a search for your area...or check out the yellow pages for auto exhaust shops....

the best thing to do here is to purchase some mandrel u bends and take it to your local exhaust shop for them to cut and weld whatever you want.. Hardly anyone has their own mandrel bender.... actually alot of shops dont even know the difference between hydrolic and mandrel bend. I looked everywhere when i changed my supra over to 3 inch and I finally found a shop to do it CHEAPER THAN A CAT BACK KIT. I found it right down the road from where i live.. literally 2 miles. Its great!!!

yeah I did that but it didnt turn out like I wanted I need to put the cats somewhere different so they dont scrape on everything, as of now they are 1.5" for the ground and high center on ANYTHING. I just dont know what it will take to do it right and make everything mandrel and have it turn out perfect. Thats why I was looking for a shop to do mandrel that way I wouldnt be SOL if I didnt have all the pipe they needed to do it right ya know? mybae thats just wishfull thinking though, anyways thanks for the replies fellas!
