Having a hard time finding a shop that can bend 3". thanks, don ------------------ 68 Mustang Coupe New engine IP: Logged

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 IP: Logged

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. IP: Logged
