If your planing on using the new bender you bought to bend your exhuast pipe, i doubt it will it will most likely just kink because the stuff for exhaust's is too thin they use a draw through still bender to bend this stuff. Sorry if i've put a downer on it for ya

as above.
you can buy preformed mandrel bends and cut these to suit and weld them to lengths of pipe. But if you are looking at doing this to save a buck, by the time you buy pipe and bends at retail price you may as well pay to get a system made for you unless you particularly want to build your own.

Yep. Mandrel bent sections in tight/loose radius, 45/90/360 degree sections can be had for around $15 a piece. I get mine from the local truck shop.
Exhaust pipe comes in 3M lengths and is pretty cheap. If you have the tools and the time (and patience), you can make a fantastic system and save yourself a fair whack of coinage too!!
