How much should a mandrel bent mid pipe be approx.? 2" or 2.5" in diameter...

Sorry, i feel like such a newb for asking this, but there's one shop in MD that can do mandrel bends (from what i;ve been told) so i don't wanna get ripped off.

 

for an accent, I would go with 2" or 2.25" not 2.5" (unless you plan on adding headers and a supercharger or a turbo system).

I would guess about $50 to $150, depending on how busy the shop is. If they are hurting for business, $50, if they are damn busy, $150.

 

what about the 1.8lt tiburon. 2.25 or 2.5? not planning on headers anytime soon but i do have an intkae and am getting a bbtb and bim very soon. Anyone have any good muffler recomendations?

 

for the 1.8 with no headders 2.25 should suffice. 2.5 would be a bit big even for a 2.0 without headders, full intake or other major work

 

skierd let me/us know about this shop when you find out if they can do mandrel bends.

 

well, tbe exhuast won't be coming untill i swap or go turbo, so 2.5" should suffice, lol.

2kwagon, i know EIP tuning in Westminister(?) does mandrel bends, but that is kinda far.

Also, i knew the size i wanted (2" for the 1.6L, 2.5" for a modded 2.0L), i just placed the smiley in the wrong spot, lol.

 

There is a shop in Emmitsburg, MD that did duals (mandrel bends) for my T-bird. They are pretty low cost too. It's a mom and pop (back woods) shop and they do great work. I am going to them for my exhaust....eventually.
