Exhaust shops normally buy there mandrel bends in, their bending machines will normally slightly crush the pipe when bending it

another question:
Do exhaust places generally do one or the other? Or offer press bent or mandrel ? |

if you have just asked for a sports system, they will probably get in a pressed bent system, especially if you have crunched the on price.
They may have ordered in a redback which comes as a mandrel bent system If they are customising a system a mandrel system would be a lot dearer as it takes a long time to make it compared to bending pipe as they need to.

mandrel benders are rare and very dear, they are bigger than a 4wd. the boily's at work have one for making handrails, they dont bend the pipe like a press bender, they pull the pipe and then while its stretched it gets bent a little by little
