mandrel bent exhaust?

[TheSean]

i looked on the ERMCA reccomends thread and saw two companies, but do either of them mandrel bend exhaust? Also, who can do one in stainless steel?

Mandrel bent exhaust does not yield measurable power increases. Both of those companies do regular bending, which works fine.

holly hill muffler does mandrel bends, not sure what they use metal wise. I've heard complaints about them, but i held their hand and watched as they did the from scratch dual exhaust on my v6 and it came out straight as an arrow.

You can get pre-bent tubes from Action in stainless or mild steel.

Au contraire:

Turbos dont work like regular cars. It is ALL about the exhaust flow in this case, and with 800HP coming out of the engine, I dont mind spending a few extra pennies. There has to be a reason its available :dunno:


Thanks guys.

Dr. Gas sucks. I have read numerous articles on X-pipes, and the Dr. Gas always yields the least horsepower when compaired to other intermediates made by companies like Bassani, which cost a lot less. Dr. Gas can kiss my ass.

They were the only one I knew of. :dunno:

Well, the point is that mandrel bending isn't going to do shit for the exhaust system. If I were you Sean, I would be more concerned with getting a complete set of unburned pistons in your engine then getting 1/23135845 of a horsepower with a mandrel bent exhaust.
