Mandrel Bent or Muffler Shop Piping

[mazda20]

What is the difference?<BR>Can you get 2" from Mandrel Bent or a Muffler Shop?<BR>Which is better?

[Smokin mx-3]

the difference is that if you buy 2" mandrel bent that means it is 2" even in the bends and a exhaust shop 2" wont be 2" in the bends it would be smaller

Could that be a major affect on performance, I mean lag. If I choose 2.5" then I could guess about 2" at the bend. Or Not?

unless you are running a hight boost/high performance set-up, you won't notice much of a diff.<p>[ April 23, 2002: Message edited by: cre8v mx3 ]

I guess its not worth getting the mandrel bent piping because a shop would bend and paint it for me for about $150.00. Right Now I got muffler shop piping on.
