contact http://www.performance-curve.com/

They are in Roanoke, stock mandrel bends in 304 stainless in various sizes, shapes, etc..

Best prices I have seen too..

I have never come across an exhaust shop that has a mandrel bender.

yup, but its really not expensive..

I used a multi bend section of 2.5" stainless pipe from performance curve to build my downpipe, it was only 39 bucks.. it had a 180 deg bend and a 45 degree and some straight sections.. I just cut it where I needed the bends to be and pieced it together!
