They aren’t not called a toob kinkers for nothing.

All depends on degree of bend. Fill it with sand, might work

 

you're better off buying pre-bent sections and welding them together.

 

thats a lot of welding!

 

It usually is, but done right it works really well.
Typically you'll have 3 or 4 sections just to curve over an axle. That's why quality custom stainless exhausts are purged and TIG welded, ends up without any flow restriction or turbulence.

TBH when I messed around with cars before I got a TIG welder I used to bodge it all up with MIG, and I always got good power from my engines on the dyno and 1/4 mile...

 

I can purge it and tig weld it on the bench if I have to.

 

Have a read then multiply problems for bigger pipe with thinner wall

If you don't have special machine, buying a elbow from store will be better.

 

I believe Simmons and Powersprint (and other companies as well) do completely pre bent section for going over an axle.
