Searching for Exhaust shop in IL. Please HELP!
Hey all, so heres the story...
i bought my "to me from me" birthday gift - an AT3030 and two 18" long 4" round slash cut chrome tips.
the setup i want is simple - in essence that is -
a Y pipe comming off the at3030, after the 12" of straight pipe of corse, and the two HUGE tips running in a dual out rear setup.
i cannot find a muffler shop near me (Plainfield, IL - south suburbs of Chicago) that has the capabilities to mandrel bend 3" pipe. [:@]
i have spoken to my friend at Midas, as well as Meineke, and a few others. i have a list of calls to make on monday being Fair Muffler, Merlins, CarX and local auto repair shop near me 59 auto.
anybody in my neck of the woods know of a reputable shop with the ability to mandrel bend the needed 3" pipe? i have no beef going for a ride down state or up to WI if needed.
Any and all help is most appreciated!!

Lots of luck. Most shops cannot afford the tooling nor the machine to do mandrel bends. There may be a shop in Rockford, if they are still in business. I came across their Web site a few years ago, but never bookmarked it. You might want to do a google using Rockford and Exhaust in your search.

well i found a place with a 3" bender, and they want 500$ to bend the small amount of pipe needed. so i have decided to give up on my dual exhaust and just have one pipe going straight out the back. i am awaiting some 3" pipe from jegs and them im off to midas.
Thanks for the suggestion mazz. i appreciate it.
