Before I get flamed - I know you should always get mandrel bent, it is way better, flows better, etc. but this is to prove that point
My friends getting a custom exhaust (for an Explorer, but that doesn't matter) and he is saying that it doesn't matter that he gets crush bent. I'm looking for a site with a faq or something of the sort comparing crush bent vs. mandrel bent, so I can show him why mandrel is better. Thanks

there's a lil bit. So whats he hope to run with his new exhaust 20-22? I've seen a couple explorers with type Rs on the side too...eitherway seems like a complete waste of money

 

this is sorta stupid, but shows the idea http://www.se-r.net/header_exhaust/m...rush_bends.htm

He's just trying a)to be able to put on a flowmaster 40 series, because it sounds nice and b) beat a kid at my school who thinks his car is way faster than it is.

 

I'd go larger size with crushed bent exhaust... eg 2" mandrel bent 2.25" crush bent.

 

is it a V8?? At least 2.5"

 

Jeese, a racing explorer, anyone wanna start a pool as to how soon this guys buddy rolls this thing on its roof?

 

It doesn't matter.

 

Here's a good explanation. http://www.bobsmuffler.com/mandrel.htm

 

Go mandrel or go home!

 

I think hector is gonna be racing an explorer in the new F&F movie
