OK im at the end of my rope! i NEED some 4 inch pipe to be bent i can get the 4 inch but i cant find ANYONE to bend it does ANYONE know a place that can bend 4 inch pipe somewhere close to Joplin MO (south west corner of MO) OR if someone could get it, bend it and ship it to me i would GLADLY pay for it all (obveously)
Call around to Electrical contractors in your area. They have pipe benders that can bend 4'' pipe all day.
i tried one place and i asked about "exaust pipe" and they said "no we cant do that" *click* so i thought that it was too thin fron what they can do or can ANY 4 in. pipe dye bend any thickness of the appropriate sized pipe?
i think that theres one in town ill try them tomorrow wuts ironic is Joplin is the town that "trick my truck" is based in and ALl the muffler shops can do 3.5 in. and under and trick my truck can bend 5 in. and up..........hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ill try the local elecric place again and try tractor places too thx guys
im sorry to say i couldent tell you the diffrence, but i want the "common" turn out, it looks like a "dump" pipe but turned out 90 degrees

Mandrel bends are made so that the ID is kept the same throughout the whole curve... vs the typical "crush" bends most any exhaust shop can produce... The equipment to make mandrel bends is much more expensive, thus many shops do not have the capability.
What are you putting a 4" dump on? A truck or something?

Don't tell them "exhaust pipe" tell them "thinwall conduit"
im not putting dumps on nething its LIKE dumps but turned out it was a bad example but regaurdless so i guess im wanting mandrel bends and my headers flow into 4 inch collection so im hoping that there will be as close to no resistance in the engine as possible ill tell them "thinwall conduit" maby ill hav better luck sounding more pro.

You may have an easier time finding 3" dumps... If you plan on just running turn-downs directly off your headers... I dont think restriction is going to be a problem.
Out here the muffler shops have those bends sitting on the shelf. Check with them.
It's used all the time on truck exhaust. The thinwall stuff sounds too thin...you want regular exhaust pipe.
Here's a picture of my 4 inch bend segments welded to three inch segments. I used them to connect to my 4 inch Hooker sidepipes.
