mandrel bent tubing

Post by **jdubau55** » Tue Oct 01, 2002 1:27 pm

does anybody know if there is a place that sells mandrel tubing that has all ready been formed or bent you could say. i would like to find someplace so i could buy some pre fab peices and weld my own cat-back. would this be benificial? i would like to use the apex i n1 muffler and my own tubing. would i be better off to just buy it. if i welded my own would it be enough cost savings to do so? thanx guys

We have a speedy here, but it's advertised as a goodyear, since they are a goodyear dealer, but they do more than tires. You should call around to all the shops. Many shops are listed as what they're dealer is. Here we have Speedy Tire and services (goodyear) Hoover tire and service (firestone) whitworth transmission (mr. transmission) peak oil (express oil change)
