Crush bending reduces the diameter of the pipe thus restricting the flow. The pipes *should* be mandrel bent but, most exhaust shops do not have a mandrel bender though.

if you like the exhaust and think it sounds good i guess you accomplished what you were trying to do. Just seems like you are ricing the car out with these cheapy mods.

Spracked's car is probably one of the better PPW Zs on the site. And the wing looks like it could be the INGS wing. Defintley Nice.

crush bends FTL.

would have been just as cheap to procure some mandrel U bends to give to the shop to fab into the exhaust, without losing the flow.

crush bends are crap. I would NEVER put any crush bent pile of crap on my 350z.

I can guarantee you it doesn't.........so I wouldn't speak unless you have dyno proof showing there are no differences, because there most definitely are.

Aren't exhaust HP gains minimal at best which ever way you go? I can understand the "serious" gear heads needing the best exhaust, but if you just want something for looks and sound, does it really matter? (except for rust issues, then it would)

Exhaust looks good. Seems like everyone is going single nowadays LOL

People need to stop hating on the wheels, the thread is not about that. If he makes a post about "what do you guys think about my wheels" then feel free to post there what you really think.

If you knew anything about cars or have done any modding before, you'd know what I'm saying is truth. However, you haven't, so you don't.


Go look at any real performance car, bend under it and see if it has crush bends. Hell, even our STOCK exhaust was mandrel bent.

ok so he got 4HP out of his exhaust and you got 8hp out of yours? thats my point. The difference is slim.

Im sorry to break it to you guys but Mike knows what he taking about--->other then mandrel bending why do you think quality exhausts cost more? Better materials, but mostly R&D with a lot of time on a dyno to get their exhaust as good as they possibly can. Im sorry but you get what you pay for
