Default Mandrel Bending in MD/DC

Anyone know of places that will do custom exhausts with mandrel bending? I know of one place that does, Southern Maryland Auto; are there any others with which you have experience? Thanks.

another option is to buy all the mandrel piping you need from online vendors like jcwhitney.com and have any competent welder weld the pipes together.

I know a place in Annapolis that does custom work for hotrods with a Ben Pearson exhaust tubing bender. Will that work?

SC430blue, that might work really well! I'm in the Annapolis area. What's the name of the place?

Thanks, Weny, I'm much obligated. Is your name pronounced "wenny" or "weeny"?

LOL......its pronounced when'ee. Dave is really meticulous about his work. I've seen some beautiful bends in his exhausts. He's going to redo mine after I get my motor back. I had a chop shop in glen burnie make some up for me. The exhaust sounds great but the workmanship is lacking.
