Default WOW!....NOT!

As I was looking at this newslip-on offeredby Yoshimura, I was thinking there might be some interest in it stateside. After looking at theprice (over $600.00), however, I doubt there would be much of a draw.
If you want a larger head pipe to go with it, that's another $200.00! Sheesh! first they copy Akrapovic, then they jack-up the price becauseit carries the 'Yoshimura' label.

Yeah it looks good but jeeze I would not pay all that. I think paying 500 for the head back is rediculos. But what can you do?

Sorry to tell you the harbor frieght bender is for pipe not tubing. It'll pinch the tubing, what you'll have to do is buy the tubing in different bends and cut to fit.

you need the bender with the rollers not the dies.........The dies will pinch the tubing the rollers will not....HF has the junk......I got mine elsewhere but they have a similar model.

next time you wanna bend hollow tube, fill it with sand and cap the ends. This will keep it from pinching and or splitting

Yes that does work very well too....My dad showed me that trick while him and his crew were bending some thinwall stainless for a big chiller unit .....very nice trick....of course when I was 16 at the time I was the monkey sent to fetch the sand....the guys doing the bending also had 40 yrs experience and their results showed that.The tubes were flawless and they looked like a work of art.
