Default Labor cost for pie-cut/sectioned bends

What kind of cost would I be looking at for a simple "L" with a 14- to 18-inch main leg with a 6-inch second leg and a 90-degree sectioned/pie-cut bend in 2.75-inch I.D. aluminum piping?

&gt; buying an aluminum bend. Why pie cut? Maybe I'm missing something? but why not just buy a mandrel bend?

I think Arturbo is selling bends these days..

Purely asthetic. It'd look kickass when we do the nitrous install article.

WAY OFF TOPIC!!

Greg-

You live in Wildomar? I was just out there last weekend off-roading and I'll be out there this weekend as well. Even though we work 5 minutes from each other we should meet up either here or out there.

Let me know.

Why not just buy something like this:

cut it up and reweld the whole thing? (other than the fact it's only 2.5" in the picture)

Just use an actual 90* bend and then just weld it to look pie cut.

Anyone who knows what they're looking at would find that laughable. Of course I don't look at magazines because I don't know how to read.
