Summit sells aluminized parts and tube for a decent price, at least they
did a year ago when I built mine. I ended up buying some mandrels from them.
Summit also has a good price on band clamps. Free shipping too (with $9
handling charge).
Just for kicks, I went to the local performance exhaust shop (who specialize
in everything "rice"), and asked about a mandrel system. They just laughed,
said nobody cares about Mandrel bends so they don't bother with them. They
were happy to do a "nice" crimp-bend system with duals and massive tips.
Anyway, because I wouldn't settle for anything but mandrel bends, they were
glad to at least sell me some parts. They had a very reasonable price on
the basic parts, and were actually a few bucks cheaper than Summit on the
sticks, cat, and muffler, and hangers. Might be worth a try.
FWIW - 3" turbo-back system for the car was $220 by the time I was finished
for sticks, bends, hangers, clamps, Magnaflow cat & muffler, and stainless
resonator tip. Not dirt cheap, but far better than a pre-made kit and put
together the way I wanted it.
