Where to buy mandrel bends?

Post by mx3man83 »

Don't say going to your local junk yards. Most arond here will not even let the customers in unless they have something specific in mind. Hell, some will not even let you LOOK at an item before you buy it.

www.jegs.com has them in the exhaust section and so does www.jcwhitney.com. i think jegs is cheaper though.

That site looks like a damn good deal. Do you guys think those three bolt flanges will bolt up to our exhaust manifolds? The piping is the only thing stopping me from buying the parts needed for a turbo set up. If I can get the piping correct, I am going to do it.

I got all my bends off of JCwhitney and in a local exhaust shop dumpster...

I highly doubt those 3 bolt will fit the stock exhaust mani's, they are made for 2.5" pipe. I had trouble getting one to fit my turbo, and it is a 2.25" 3 bolt.

Just try to find a stock crossover pipe. I made sure to bolt one to my KLDE when I pulled it at the junkyard. You might actually be able to find someone here or on PT or mx6.com who will cut those off with the 02 sensor bungs, then you'll be set.

Well, if I remember correctly there were three different size exhaust flanges on that site...I'll just call them up and ask what sizes they offer. I'm also concerned about the three bolt pattern, weather or not it will match ours.
