pipe bending
Getting a full stainless cat-back system for my 95 1.6 vtec and have a question or two. Is there going to be much difference in power gains having the pipes bent on a mandrel than a crush bending machine? you see I was going to get it done at a performance exhaust manufacture who uses mandrel bent pipes but they cant do it for a week, so I got a quote from another place which uses a crush bender and they said theres no difference between the two methods when bending 2 1/4" pipes It only matters when you have anything bigger like 3",plus there mufflers are better quality to. any thoughts?

RE: pipe bending
The crush place is BS-ing you. There is a difference (though probably not too noticeable on stock parts). If you want to get it crush-bent, get it done with bigger piping (2.75 or 3"). Then the crushed areas will be closer to an ideal size.
