okay i've always been wondering..

why is it better to get like custom mandrel bent?? ( i think thats what you guys said) piping and the muffler?

or is it better to get one out of a factory? (Tanabe, GReddy, Apex..ect)

Smoother exaust flow, when normal pipe bends its internal diameter shrinks aka crush bent, whereas madrel bent keeps the internal diameter the same all the way through.

don't waste your money, just get a cheap custom one.

When you bend a pipe, the diameter at the bend becomes slightly smaller than the rest of the pipe.

Mandrel bent pipe is the same diameter the whole length through.

The nice thing about buying a brand name exhaust is the quality of materials they use and fitment.

If you go custom, you need to weld it into your existing pipes.
