Hi,
Is it possible to bend a 2.25" pipe for my exhaust system without a pipe bender?
If I had 2 people?
Cause I need to bend it in a 90 degree angle for my 4 door sedan.
Thanks,
Owen

It's called a "crush" bend - mostly because you'll be crushed when it doesn't flow as well as a mandrell bend :biggrin:

:iagree: Just got to a friendly exhaust place, they could do it in less than 5min!

if you can find a local small muffler shop they might bend it for free. i had the local shop bend me a 90 degree elbow and widen one end of a different pipe for me for free. nice people

if you laid the pipe on the floor around a solid pole or something, maybe two peeps could bend it, but it would work for shit, as it would prolly be pinched in the bend area, id agree to just bring it somewhere.

a mandrel bend would be the beast but most places don't do them
