I got my mufflers, now I can't find anybody that does mandrel bend exhaust. There are more muffler shops here then I thought, BUT nobody mandrel bends. I live in SW Pa., anybody around my area know of any shops that does mandrel bends? Thanks for any info.

Your pretty much out of luck around here. I've looked into it, and not found anybody to do it either.

I used a mandrel bent 2 1/2" Mustang cat back on some of my previous cars, and have the ATR single 3" on my current 88.

I've never known of any run-of-the-mill muffler or exhaust shop that did mandrel bends. Mostly because mandrel bending machines are EXPENSIVE and for 99.9% of those guys' customers, it doesn't really make a difference. But the nice thing is you can usually buy a lot of things that are already mandrel bent.
