mandrel vs. crush bent
Curious to see if anyone has tried both types of exhausts. I'm probably going to end up going the custom route since I can't find what I want in a cat-back, only a muffler. 96 sol w/ b16. 2.25"? 2.5"? What's typically the better way to go? Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm trying to figure out if it will even make a difference at this point (car is for auto-x / street & will never seen extremely high power, just bolt ons). Will 2.5" crush bent flow as good as 2.25" mandrel bent??

Mandrel bent the pipe stays the same size.... Crush bent the pipe shrinks where ever they bend it, restricting exhaust flow alot...

There is no comparison bruda! Mandrel all the way. I see what your saying will it equal if you got a 2.5 crush bend, will it equal 2.25............don't now, but i would not waste the time to find out. Buy some piping Kteller8
