unless its a large scale exhaust shop most wont have mandrel bending machines. good benders cost around 6 grand, if you want mandrel capabilities the cheapest upgrade for that is another 5 grand...11 grand...the market isnt that big for custom bent mandrel WHICH you cannot already buy through a supplier. If there are no mandrel systems for the TL cat back there are two options. You get a regular bent system made and then take it to an industrial plant with mandrel capabilities and have them build you one (usually they wont make just one unless you pay a ton of money) or you order a hotrod kit from magnaflow which has various 90 degree, 45 degree, 15 degree etc. length pipes and have the shop make it that way. thats also fairly expensive. there is nothing wrong with using a regular bender...as long as they dont overdo the bends everything will be fine.
