Ok so these pipe benders that places like midas have... are these crimpers
or things that can mandrel bend??  There's a guy here who can make 
exhausts and has a bender much like the ones midas use

Thanks
Dave

 anything if performance is going to suffer.

A constant diameter is the best for performance. however I dont know how much
or little this contributes.  A larger pipe could be used instead I guess, but
I've heard about clearence problems.
