Lou's Custom Exhaust!

I've known him for quite sometime and they do the best work you will find anywhere.

Look them up. I know he has a shop in Revere, not sure how close that is to you.

I thought they used rolled compression bends rather than the mandrel bends?

For follow up Lou's DOES NOT DO MANDREL BENDING, this is from the owner Louis Barbarossa. I had to track him down through three of the shops (Brockton, Plymouth, North Reading). They have high speed draw bending machines, not mandrel benders.

So again, anyone know of anyplace in MA with a mandrel bender that will sell bends?

just an idea, order some mandrel bent pieces from jegs and let the exhaust shop fit and weld everything.

That one is simple, I already get bends mail order, I fab up my own exhausts and I do the welding.

If I could find someplace local, I can most likely score a deal on volume, save my shipping costs and probably **** a few boxes of 'goof' bends for cheap as well. That's why it's in the regional board as opposed to say, gen-tech.
