Crush bends FTL
I was pondering why my car seemed to be low on power compared to the other greddys at the same boost level (15psi) and realized my Tony DP had been modified with 2 crush bends.
Any idea how much power and spool this is sapping me of? I died a little when I took these pictures. I'm also wondering what a reasonable price would be if I took the DP to a shop and had them weld in mandrel bends.

butt dyno says it makes no difference at all. it really doesn't matter. these aren't pro level race cars. you will never be able to feel the 2whp difference it "might" make, so why worry about it?

My 3 inch exaust has the crappy bends. But hey it is 3inch exaust cheap. And Im sure it flows better than a smaller pipe. I'm not trying to be a top fuel dragster. Seat of the pants O'meter is what matters. I wouldn't spend the money on the switch.
