For you guys who did 3", was the pipe from your headers to the mufflers straight or did it require bending? Having a hard time finding a shop that can bend 3".thanks, don ------------------ 68 Mustang Coupe New engine

I got an universal 3" x pipe from dr gas and had a muffler shop install it. That way you get all mandrel bends. Much better then any muffler shop bent pipes which would obviously hurt flow.------------------ 69 Torino GT Hardtop 420" Windsor

From the pipes I have seen bent you will get no benefit from muffler shop pipes anyway even if you find one that can do it. I remember looking at my 2.5" pipes that were bent on a regular machine. I don't have any tests to show it but I bet it had less flow than a 2" manderl bent pipe.
