Custom NonMandrel Alum FMIC pipes? (Ubipa, JonDel, etc)

Hey guys,
Well I just bought ten 15" long 2-1/2" 6061 aluminum pipes for my Volvo FMIC, which will be installed in my 1990 SPG.
I called my exhaust shop guy today, asked him if he could mandrel bend me up the pipes, and weld them together.
Figures, the mandrel bender is broken. Gone. Won't be replaced for a year or so. There is no other mandrel benders in my area, at all, that I know of. And I checked.
He has the regular pressure bender(?) and says the most it will decrease the inner diameter of the aluminum IC pipes is 1/4". He will do the job cheap ($$$-wise), as usual. This way would be good since he can custom bend the pipes while the car is in front of him. I wouldn't have to send the pipes away and give measurments, that might not be exact, etc. It is obviously bad since the pipes won't be mandrel bent.
Ubipa, etc....
Anyone know a mandrel bender in central PA?
What do you think? Should I have them bent by him? Sell the pipes? Help!
Thanks in advance!
