Exhaust tubing is too thin wall for my bender, i have an antique Hausfield I wouldn't trade for any of the new ones. If i remember right, the mandrel benders for exhaust have to have something that goes inside the pipe to keep it from collapsing...?????Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Harbor Freight sells a few different exhaust pipe benders but for 3" I think they only have one. I don't have one but have used one and they do the job very well. I think they run about $100.00.Charlie

I could be wrong, but I don't think you can use the same benders for exhaust tubing (thin wall) and also dom tubing (roll bar type) We tried bending some headers in our bender that we use for the roll bar kind of stuff, and it kinked it.
We have a Pro-tool 105K and it is terrific. Bought 3 different sized mandrels with it for the most popular sizes.
