I was planning on cutting a bunch of 15 degree pie slices and just going from there. Or possibly spending some extra money and getting pre-bent pieces.

Any input from the pros?

I use Tig welding ROD. I do all my bends leaving 2 1/2'' to 3'' around the rod for the actual exhaust pipe size. Then i transfer it to the pipe as i bend it. I also do that for roll cages and pre runner bumpers.
