Re: TY front pipe repair / replace suggestions?

Ok thanks for the suggestions

There are preformed bends available that can be welded together to replicate the original and yes as Mark said it saves some labour cost if they can reuse the flange piece on the end. I would be surprised though if someone could do the job for you for much less than ...
