Mandrel Benders are the way to go if you have access to one. Clean bends but machine runs $35,000 to $100,000 if someone were to buy one. Good job on the bumper!

a hydraylic madrel tube bender isnt that much. one can be had for about 1400.

i think your thinking of a mandrel exhaust bender. those sell for your price range
