Why my exhaust is so special......

Because it's mine! No, really.....I learned how to use MY Ben Pearson pipe bender in MY shop the other day and bent it myself! I've had this bender for two years and finally decided to give it a try.

tnblazerk5- yep, it's pointing at the tire. The turn-outs are a slip on, I still have to remove them and run the pipes back a little further so they go past the tires. I'm going to run them out the side behind the rear wheels.

In the first pic toward the bottom you can see where I've butt-welded pipe together on both pipes, I've been doing this for years. Thanks to Ben Pearson I can now bend them as well. (yeah, I'm a smartass)
