OK, I know the basics about bending tubing. The situation I have is that I have purchased a stainless exhaust system designed for my particular model car. The problem is, it is not perfect. Some adju

Well, if I picked up at the local store, I might try that. This system was purchased from a supplier in England as it is unavailable in the US. There's no way it's going back. It was manufactured usi

I this case, my car is RHD. It's pretty clear to me that it is the exhaust intended for this car. They just got a few of the angles off by a couple of degrees. Just to take the mystery out of it, it'

Since you can't send it back, at least contact them to see if they have any suggestions. Next, find an exhaust shop and have them do the tweaking, they have the dies for it. If you have to do it your

An exhaust shop could use their bender and dies to increase a bend, but I don't know how that would help when the goal is to decrease a bend. I could walk in with a pipe and ask for "a little more be

If you just want to decrease an existing bend by a little, I would suggest doing it cold. It won't take a lot of encouragement for the pipe to return towards it's original shape, and it's not likely

Well, you must be a stronger man than I am. The only way I could possibly see doing that is where a bend has a couple of feet of straight pipe on each side for leverage. It doesn't always work out li
