Exhaust tubbing - Lateral-g Forums

chevyIIpost · #1 03-04-2008, 12:09 PM

Hey guys need suggestions or referrals for a GOOD source for mandrel bent mild steel exhaust tubbing. Like J or U bends. I have tried a few places and keep getting crap that has inconsistant diameter and large tooling marks. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We use stainless works or Magnaflow.

SPD has the best parts around. They are out of Sacramento. They have CNC flanges not laser or water jet flanges. Plus their stuff is made with great materials to make you look like a king when you weld it out.

SPD is a quadzillion dollars though! The Magna Flow is a screaming deal, just get a Hot Rod Kit. Or Stainless Works for onesies, towsies. Either way we can hook you up.

You get what you pay for, their tubing is bent on a better bender that does not deform as much in the bend so when you cut and rotate the tubing it is not as misaligned as some of the others. They also use top quality steel that welds really nice. And their flanges are basically jewelry. I have never had anyone complain about the price after they have seen the quality.

I see that you are from Tulsa, I live in Okc. When I built my turbo mustang I got all my mandrel bends from Perfection Trucks it is a diesel shop I believe. You might check and see if there is another shop somewhere up in Tulsa, if not just make a trip down. I was very pleased with everything that I got from them and their prices weren't that bad. Go to yellowpages.com and get their number.

Received my tubbing from http://store.racing-solutions.org/info.html. I would rate it an 8 on a 1 to10 scale for quality and a 10 for price.This is mild steel stuff. There are some minor tooling marks on the clamp end and one or two minor bumps on two of the six pieces I received. It appears that the dimensions are consistant but I'll know more when I start cutting and fitting. I'll follow up at that point.
