Installing new exhaust with hedman headers
77 L48
I'd like to do this exhaust myself but I don't have the tools to bend pipe. Does anyone know of a company that sells mandrel bent exhaust from hedman headers back or should I take it to a shop. I've done exhausts before on jeeps but was able to order them already bent.

I don't think most muffler shops have mandrel benders anyway.

I don't think there is a package of exhaust pipes for hedman headers. I had to modify my true duals to fit up to the headers. You may have better luck buying a dual exhaust kit and having a shop modify those for you to fit up to the headers.

Take it to a custom exhaust shop in your area. All the ones I've dealt with have done great work for not a lot of $$$. The last shop I used installed a Mid America True Dual system with Flowmaster Delta 40's for about $100 labor. They also custom made an X pipe for this price.
Good luck!
