I need to replace the exhaust piping on my Honda ...

Nothing fancy, I'll probably go with 2" for a little more grunt. I want to get smooth bends, but not necessarily mandrel. Anybody have experience with this?

Uhhh... I know how to bend PVC, does that count? 8)

A bending machine. mabie a local shop has one.

Obviously a bending machine. I'm trying to get it for cheaper than that.

It's a throwaway Honda, I don't want to spend 20% of the car's cost on a new exhaust for it if I can do it myself for $20 in tubing and $40 bending rental.

Rent a crush bender and fill the inside of the pipe with sand and cap off the ends tightly. Then bend it very slowly. It will make a bend similar to a mandrel with a little bit of crush. The sand forces it to keep its diameter/area throughout the bend.

Besides that make a few bends, get some straights and cut and piece it together with a welder. Thas all I know mang

I agree with CJW on that one...

--if you you're gonna spend $60.00 why not pay the extra $15.00 and get it professionally done?it cost me $75.00 for my whole cat back and it is 2.5' piping.

makes sense to me :roll:

Because that's the correct, and easy way, with no chance of failure? :roll: Gee, Mardini, when was the last time you ever remember me doing something properly?











:D good idea.

hey we did my disc swap right but anyway i just thought it wouldve been a lot easier for you to do it that way plus it will save you time for other mods
