I live in ct, and i can't find any in new england, but i may be wrong. I"m willing to take a vacation with my truck, and end up at a town with a shop that does custom mandrel bent exhaust work. The reason i need custom, is because i have my exhaust exiting through my roll pan. My setup now is ok, but it's not mandrel, and it looks a lil hokey, so i just wanna eventually get a nice mandrel bent, tuned system. Anyone know of a shop that does it, without really hitting your wallet ?

 

i have a friend that i work with and his fathers has a hotrod shop in northern maine. he can do everything even make his own wheels and yes he has a mandrel bender. i'll talk to him tommorrow and see if i can get you a number.

 

a mandrel bender? seriously? not regular crimp style? i haven't been able to find one speed shop in new england with one yet.... that'd be awsome. thanks man.

 

Those machines cost well over $100,000 and are very hard to come by.

 

well what does a billet wheel machine cost? this guy takes old hotrod and when he gets done they have new titles like brand new cars. he is uasually backed way up during the winter but i'll ask the guy tommorrow but i had ask him before and he said yes becouse i was going to have him do a custom turbo install for me. so i'll get with him again tommorrow and let you know.

 

Jacob I think you have a serious exhaus addiciton!!

 

try united exhaust shop
1575 route 112
port jefferson sta. new york 11776
631-473-001

i believe he was doing up to 4" mandrel
he was going to do a 3" SS for me a year or so ago but time ran out and i was relocating back to the west cost.
call him and see what they can do for you, not sure where you live in CT. but if you go take the bridgeport feiry across
to port jeff. and there about 5 mi. south on route 112.....

good luck.

 

i agree!!!

i'm just used to smallblock with flowmaster sound, and i love it Can't seem to find a sound that i like for these motors yet..... that works for horsepower too. I'm thinking 3.5" tailpipes after the mufflers, ( probably magnaflow's ) maybe it'll lower the tone some. Or, possible have the megaphone effect and make it worse..... lol, who knows. Probably Thorley headers 2.5" into my Slp high flow cats, then the mufflers.
