I tried unsuccessfully to find a custom-bending service for stainless steel tailpipes. Does anybody here know of such a service? There wouldn't be any "catalog" pattern for them, since duals weren't available on '59 GMC trucks, but I could carefully transport the existing rusty pair to a shop to use as patterns, if only I knew where! The local rod shop said they cut/weld/grind/polish separate pieces to create custom S.S. pipes- but I'm not a welder, so that would be a very cumbersome approach (read 'expensive'). Thanks for reading this.

There is a company called Stainless Works. They would have them if anybody does, but be carefull, I don't think they are mandrel bent. As Pittsburgh64 mentioned, aluminized will last the life of a well kept classic. If you are going for looks, then consider a pair of aluminum polished ceramic coated tails. You could temporarily fabricate or install tails and then send them out to any number of ceramic coaters.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
