Default custom piping with type r muffler

sup all, im about to get custom piping with an integra type r muffler. My questions is, should I get crushed piping that costs around $75 or should I go with mandrel bent for $175? thanks

Mandrel bent. Crush bent is what your stock exhaust is. Might just wanna get a whole ITR exhaust, its 2.25 mandrel bent. Edit: Missed the fact its a 4 door. Just get a muffler shop to mandrel bend some piping, just make sure they put a resonator in, or itll sound shitty.

dont bother with the ITR muffler........there is hardly any performance gain to be had with it............very little if any.

mandrel bent will not give you any HP right now. If you go to a good muffler shop, the bends should not be bad at all. Save your money for something else, IMO

looks like the little money you are spendind will still result in a more free flowing exhaust than what is on your car currently...$175, assuming that you already have the ITR muff isnt too bad...better than a $500 complete system if you ask me...
