Mandrel Bend zorst

[sLo-32]

Hi all...

I'm just wondering whether having a mandrel bent exhaust will make alot of difference as apposed to one with bends welded on....dodgy but yeh. It seems my zorst has several little bends welded on.....just curios as to whether its gonna be worth the money to actually get a mandrel bend zorst and am i gonna notice the performance.

cheers

btw. my current exhaust is 3.5 inches from the car back

the little bend mean they they have used mandrels to get it like that

*from car back.....kekekeke

mines cut and welded on some joints but overall the straighter the pipe the better... overall is it worth the extra money? if u want the best then mandrel prolly....cause the weld beads will not allow the gases to flow as good, how big or small impact i dunno...

id have to say no...it makes little or no difference unless you have a really powerful car..on a normal gtst you would be lucky to make a extra 2kw...and for the extra price its not worth it.

yeah mate yourve already got mandrel bends, usually they buy snakes and cut the mandrell bends from that then weld them into place

If you dont wish to pay the money to get the pipe mandrel bend, I think next best would be using donuts. Its also cut and weld but its very close to mandrel without decreasing diameter from normal bends. Good to have it HPC treated, retain heat in the exhaust for better flow but they are dear.
