Default how hard is it...

to bend (2 1/4") exhaust pipe without one of those pipe bender thingys or a torch? the only tools id more than likely be using are some sort of hammer, my hands, and anything i can lean on, push on, or household objects that i can bend the pipe around. all i want to do is lower the exhaust tip and de-kink the dump out of it. i have a stainless steel tip id like to put on, and it looks stupid when its put on a dump.

I would say pretty hard if you're not looking to kink the hell out of it......Hammers and household objects are definitely not ideal for pipe bending. (I've tried.....)

good idea but that only does 2"

your just going to kink the pipe if you try bending it. (if you could even bend it)
