- Bend-Tech HD allows the user to be able to design their own headers in minutes, providing detailed step-by-step instructions where to cut and rotate each tubular segment. It is also the only product on the market to take your custom tube header design and break it down to fabrication instructions using pre-bent mandrel tubing.
- The Bend-Tech line of exhaust fabrication software will help you quickly design and catalog headers or full exhaust systems before wasting time with trial and error.
Header Modeling Blocks allow you to prototype and build out a complete exhaust headers prior to cutting and welding anything. Turbo Manifold Modeling Blocks simulate use of stainless elbows for turbo fabrication and Full Exhaust Modeling Blocks help when laying out tricky sections of full exhaust systems as well as downpipes and cold air intakes.


How it Works

Stage I
The most important step in our system, STAGE I allows builders using our patented plastic blocks to quickly generate the tubular shapes and geometry required to test fitment, ease of fabrication and even set budgets for any project. The only requirements are that the engine is fitted in place with flanges and starter tubes and that exhaust collectors, or Collector Dummies are firmly secured in their final positon in the engine bay. Sold in sets per SERIES (tubing OD specific).
Stage II
With the information from STAGE I, STAGE II provides a fast and accurate way to cut the required metal sections out of standard U-bends and J-bends. STAGE II tools work with most vertical band saws. They include a universal cutting plate and a set of OD specific or SERIES-specific machined HDPE cutting spacers to hold the U-bends or J-bends. Sold individually or in packages.
Stage III

After the individual metal sections for the tubular exhaust header project are cut, builders move to STAGE III: Assembly and Welding. STAGE III utilizes one of the most innovative products to hit the fabrication industry in decades: the patented icengineworks™ stainless steel tack-welding clamps.
These clamps provide an amazingly quick and exact way to firmly hold multi-sectional tubular assemblies together. Proper relative rotation at each joint is easily and minutely adjusted until the entire assembly becomes a solid and faithful recreation of the original plastic block model. They provide safe and endless opportunities to verifiy fitment for clearance, accuracy and exact alignment with the receiving tube ends at the head flange, exhaust collector or Collector Dummy prior to tack-welding the assembly. Sold in sets of 4 and 8.
