exhaust performance ?
I stopped by a muffler shop today and the guy aid he would make me a true dual set up with flows for around $350 w/o the tips. another $55 for tips, i figured get some headers and o2 sims should be in business. My question is how much disadvantange is there from runing pips that;s ot madrel bent to something that is? anything noticable?

keep shopping around and I think you can find a place that will do it cheaper, I would recommend to not use flowmaster, I know I have one but I am planning on changing it here in the next month....

only a few bends up front are mandrel on mine. the rest are reg bends. its not going to hurt you at all. make sure you throw in an x pipe as well. do not use slowmasters. go with better mufflers. i usually buy my own mufflers and take them up there as well as the tips.

I think Flowmasters aren't worth the money, there are several times when I think about going with a different exhaust. If I were you I would just go ahead and get something better now so that I wouldn't have to spend more $ to change it down the line. They sound nice but other than that they don't make much power. I think the back pressure may be better but the flow sucks on them.

True Die hard flowmaster fan here ive sworn for years id never buy anything other than a flow im just oldschool but after being on ls1tech for a lil while im already seeing there are so many better options out there sound and power wise and am serously thinking flows arent the way to go anymore
