Does anyone know who makes an exhaust tubing expander for 4" or larger tubing? The biggest I can find right now is 3 1/2". Thanks.

I think you may have to get into a larger hydraulic unit for something that large. Could be wrong though

i have a large Hydraulic bender but cant find 4" dies anywhere
I know its a lot of money but with large tubing this is the way to go.

Turbo, that last one would be perfect. Right now I am just looking for a cheap expander, one that you can crank with a ratchet or hit with an impact. Just a manual cheap one to take some U bolt kinks out. Thanks.

I know exactly what your talking about. I've have never seen one that stye that big.....not to say they don't exsist though.
Thanks Guys. I went to the Lisle site and I need the P/N 34400 stretcher along with the #5 collet set P/N 17550. It will do 3 7/8" to 4 1/4".

I made my own for "cheap"
I posted on several sites for "large" exhaust tubing expanders will no success. I had a Lisle one that would to tubing a little over 3.5". I took that, 4 old spring clamp bars (the ones drag racers and pullers use to clamp springs), and duct tape to make a larger expander. I taped the 4 bars evenly around the perimeter of the expander. It concentrates it's force on 4 spots, but I just loosen a little, turn and re-expand a few times and it works great for opening up diesel pipes where clamps have collapsed it...
It a little ghetto or Macgyverish, but it works
FWIW
Reviving this because it's relevant. The 17550 seems to be discontinued by Lisle, are there any other similar products that don't cost an arm and a leg?
what about an exhaust cone. We used to have one that we used to round out the ends of kinked pipe. I'm sure someone with a lathe could whip one up in no time.
Lisle tail pipe expander!!!!!!!!
You could use a Lisle Exhaust / Tailpipe Stretcher #
34400 plus the 17550 Extender #5 3 7/8" - 4 1/4"
