Thanks Brennan. The process for me is not much of a process at all. I do a lot of eyeballing and then take a few measurements. Transferring the angles to the mandrel bend is done on my work table with a large "square" I made from angle iron, which is clamped to the table. I mark the angle on the table with sharpie and then transfer the angle to the tubing for cutting. I don't do a lot of preparation for this. I just see it in my head and then chisel away everything that doesn't look like an exhaust.
If you've ever played pool, you will understand this analogy. You don't get out a protractor and tape measure to figure out how to get the 9 ball in the side pocket. You just know where to hit it.
Ok......same as I do it basically!
