Sounds to me like no matter how it's said a lot of people reading this should Not try and do it.
Just Google Aircraft tool supply and then search rivet layout tool. There's several different styles and they are very inexpensive.

Man, do I understand that. Homework really pays off.
If you can hand build a total exhaust system with just a box of bends why not just copy what's it in the photo and move on? I doubt seriously...
