Whitey bends kick *** !!! I did all my IC piping and just did my 3'' DP with it.. Honestly, I think its 5 times easier to work with vs manural bends, plus you only have to make the bend as sharpe has it HAS TO BE, with a manural bend, your stuck with the angle the piping is, even if it didn't need to be that sharpe..
