mandrel bending?

[simonATR]

Can any one tell me the advantages of mandrel bending?? :-s

As far as I understand it, mandrel bending causes a much smoother bend in the exhaust which aids air flow, as opposed to a kinked or creased bend which can inhibit flow.

My understanding of mandrel bending is the pipe is bent in such a way that the diameter stays the same throughout the bend. If you just got a piece of pipe and bent it by hand you would actually flatten the pipe where the bend happens.

If its not a mandrel bent exhaust pipe then stay away IMO

Correct - a highly skilled one capable of bending pipes while retaining constant diameter 8) :lol:
