Hi all, regular browser, first time poster.

Is it better to use the rubber bends or get someone to weld the mandrel bends on?

My 3" mandrel rubber 90 degree bend was $21, and the 45 degree bend was $32. (I know.. i thought the 45 would be cheaper...lol)

I went to a truck spares shop who stock Donaldson parts. This was in Newy though.

Thanks guys it's a great help. The rubber bend was just to poke through the front quarter, the rest is made up of 3" mandrel bends and pipe.

Thanks again.
