So I am ( in my head) currently building a stainless pipe for the motor because im fed up of welding the paper sh**e that they call an exhaust from peugeot ( I no it serves me right for buying french but hay)
Anyway, im thinking of using 50mm stainless tube and wall size shall depend on price but im thinking around the 2mm mark and the lenght is round 2m with 4 bends of different degrees.
the question I have therefor is will a manual hydraulic 12/16/18 etc ton bottle bender suffice or is it just going to result in me having a lenght of kinked pipe?
Any advice/tips etc would be greatly received. was also thinking ill get some extra length for a practice or two before I ruin the main piece.
cheers in advance
