Imagine: Not true. Very few shops have two size mandrel dies. I have called and most shops do not even do mandrel bends, they do the bends that shrink the inside of the tubing which is unacceptable. Further, I checked with Headers by Ed, Stahl, Hooker, Dynatech, Hedman, Hustler, Burns Stainless, Tubing Specialties, and the local hi-perf exhaust shops like Pro-Dyno. Also checked with a couple Cobra manufacturers, but they just buy finished sidepipes and install. No-one but SPD has been able to supply 90 degree mandrel bends from the two die sizes I need. It is not as easy as putting a bent system under your daily driver.
