Or perhaps just a little more creative with cheater bars, jacks & such <G>
I've even been known to use the hydraulic press as a bender, although for
exhaust pipe you'd probably want to make some mandrels from scrap lumber.
Suitable hole saw through a scrap of 2x4, then split it; would do for a
small bend I think.
But I modified a 7/8" diameter sway bar that way the other day, using only a
round chunk of steel between the ram & bar (plus some flat scraps of wood
between the bar & table), and it came out OK.
