Default what would you do?

Well i just drove my car to the exhaust shop to make a downpipe and the rest of my charge pipes. They didnt like the idea of my friday afternoon project. He quoted anywhere from 75-120 bux and said it would take a few days. Part of my charge pipes are of Radiator hose so i figure i could get some more pieces and see what i can do for finishing the charge pipes( passenger fenderwell to the throttlebody) OR, should i get some mandrel bends and buy a decent mig welder? There is a tough bend to make from the turbo to right near the radiator(thats where i lead to the intercooler) and he was talking about making a V to do the bend. Vs dont flow very well! Oh, and where is a good place to find mandrel bends that will not bust the bank?

customcoach is cheaper. Anybody used their u-bends? I emailed or pm'd them but haven't rec'd any replies. I was wondering about the dimensions on the 2.5" bends.

customcoach is also a member of this forum, you may find him in the for sale section.I haven't recieved mine yet but heard nothing bad about his pipes, and his intercoolers are great, great endtanks and cores, no welds are visible.
