I'm sick and tired of buying from Hooker (Holley). They have had substantial price increases two years running. NO one else makes the tube bends I need in 16ga. They form them in Mexico, ship them to Cali, then to a parts wholesaler in Rhode Island, before I get them. It takes about 10 weeks unles I place a special order and pay shipping on top of their already high price. Then they screw me over by only shipping partial orders. After forcing me to order box quantities they ship half boxes sometimes.

I wonder if I could come up with a piece of equipment to form the complex bends I need for my headers, if I were to use hydro technology instead of the traditional method.
Everything I've seen so far using hydroforming is diffferent and even more complex than what I want to do.
