I need just a small section (less than 12") but I need it bent at a ~37° angle. Everywhere I've looked sells standard 45°, 90°, and U-bends but I can't find a place that is able/willing to do a custom bend for a one-off piece.

Default Dave if you live near Naugatuck there is a great machine shop

that will do it. When I get home I will find the name of the shop.

About a half hour from there. If you could look up that info for me, I'd appreciate it.

Just called them. They don't do pipe bending. Thanks for the info, though.

Default Buy a piece of straight tubing..

...and find a GOOD muffler shop that does cars AND trucks. The good ones will have a bigass hydraulic bender (it's the size of a Yugo...or a Lada...) that can handle 3-4" tubing.

BTW - don't say "pipe". It's tubing. Very different things, different OD even though the size might be listed as the same.
