Is that extra .25hp worth the cost? being as that i got it mandrel bent for free (my vocational school as a bender) yeah it was definatly worth it espically since i plan on putting on a turbo. Well dang, you coulda dun mine while you were at it. the instructor even got the tubing for dirt cheap. i paid $35 for 16Ft of 2.5" and 8Ft of 1 3/4" i also got it put on for free too so all in all i paid less than fifty bucks for an exhaust 97 contour gl mtx front & rear upper strut tower braces 19mm bat sway bar Koni struts w/GC knockoffs

Is that extra .25hp worth the cost? Even on a mildly modified Zetec, putting on a mandrel bent exhaust over a crush bent exhaust of the same size can show a 3-4 HP gain on the dyno. The more modified it is, the bigger the power gain is.

OP mcgarvey CEG\'er M Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 67	Just FYI, I decided on crush bending some 2.25" pipe and welding my muffler on. It was what I could afford to do, and it's sitting in my garage right now. If it's too loud I'll throw a resonator in the middle somewhere. The next step is to take my factory system off, I'm expecting that to be a [censored] with the rusty, seized up flange bolts. If they're too stuck I guess I'll try heating them up. By the way thanks for all the help this past week or two.
