Exhaust tubing

What do you guys use that's fairly inexpensive and easy to get ahold of. I'm finding a lot of stuff at pep boys and autozone, but the 45 degree bends alone are 6-10 a piece and it's for dual exhaust. I need enough to run from right behind the diff out through the back. But I've tallied it up and after finding the angles at 6 different stores because they only carry so much 1 7-8 tube, it's coming out to almost 100 bucks. Just seems a bit much for something I could almost find scrap for.

 

100 bucks, I guess you don't want to know what my exhaust cost.

 

Hahaha I know what a real exhaust Cost, and I know what I'm going to spend for a nice exhaust, but I just want to be able to safely drive the car without inhaling exhaust everywhere I go. I'm just not anywhere near ready for a real good exhaust yet.

 

I order mine from Summit Racing.

 

I do not care how much it costs... I'm wondering how you found a shop that will still bend tubeing.....

 

Several shops around me still bend tubing. Worth the drive I would say.

 

Exhaust Tubing..

Summit Racing has a complete line of "mandrel bends" online which allows you to go over the axles quite nicely. It involves some fitting , cutting , and tweaking
but its worth the effort. We've done six cars like this and it increases the flow of exhaust since there are no " crimps" in the pipes ..If power is what you're seeking then I would recommend the hand fitting.

All my favorite shops are gone....

 

I used the 2.5" mandrel bent U-fit kit from flowmaster, Awesome kit with some cutting and welding!
