pipe bender tips?

[samwise68]

hey guys,

my parents picked up a hydraulic pipe bender from harbor freight over the weekend, so i could try and bend some exhaust pipe for my truck. mainly, to go over the rear axle.

well, i have 2" pipe. and there's a 2" die. we filled the pipe with sand, and everything, in hopes of not having it cave in on its self.

needless to say, we haven't had any luck.

SO!

if any of you guys have experience with pending exhaust pipe, or anything like that...please please PLEASE...shoot some info my way.

thanks in advance!
