Im gettin a TIG welder soon, and my dad used to make manifold actually, so I'm gonna start making turbo manifolds and exhausts. doy ou guys bend the piping or buy bent piping? id assume its cheaper to bend it yourself, but my dad doesnt have a mandrel bender yet.

i was looking at their site, but it looks like they only sell bends with liek 6inches on each end....that would be expensive. do they happen to sell donuts? donuts would be perfect for the manifolds im making.
