Mandrel Exhaust

Does anyone know where I can buy a pre-bent mandrel exhaust pipe for my '04 F-150? I want to purchase a muffler that doesn't come in a kit and would like to upgrade to 3" pipe.

I under stand that, but as I stated in the first thread I don't want to buy a Kit. Just the pipe after the muffler.

Your going to be paying quite a bit then, mandrel bends themselves go for $50 each where I live. No exhaust shops here have mandrel benders.

Try contacting Flowmaster and say you just want the piping, yours bent from an accident or something. You'd be better off getting it from them, pricewise. Unless a shop in your city can bend one up.

JCWhitney sells mandel bent pieces... Aren't the cat-back systems 3"? Just buy the pipe from one of them.

You can go down to your local exhaust shop and see if they have the piece of pipe on the shelf that your looking for. I got a after muffler mandrel bent pipe at my local for around 50 bucks. They dont make them, they just had quite a few different mandrel bent truck exhausts in stock.

Broncojohn,you can just buy mandrel bend's from Flowmaster.That's what I did on my Bronco.I bought 5 section's of 3" mandrel bend's for my exhaust system.They also sell different style's of bend's.

As you can see from the pictures there like s bend's,I have 2 coming off the headers then 2 more going in to the muffler's.Then I bought 1 more to make the turn down's.
