A 90 degree crush bent 2.5" pipe is under 2.1" I.D. at the bend. This is a serious loss of performance. Mandrel bending retains the inner diameter & shape. A 90 degree mandrel bent 2.5" pipe is a bit over 2.4" I.D. at the bend. A significant difference in airflow and turbulence. 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out!
