How much gain with Mandrel bends as oposed to Bends?

Im talking about the cat back system. I have a single exaust and was wondering if a mandrel bent system would be any better for an N/A? Mine has bends that reduce the ID. thnx

WHats up Von? Although im not 100% sure, I can demonstrate the difference in a quick head to head race. You can carefully study my exhaust after ive passed you and tell me which you think works better just kidding around, let me know when you wanna come up here.

Side note-My 900th post!

represent the S4's nismo

mandrel bends would be better on any application i would think, and if it doesnt cost much more, do it for the added benefit of keeping full diameter of piping

I'll wait till then. As of last night, another modded S5 went down ( ) It was a good race but I believe he had pretty much the same mods as you. Is it the AFC settings you're trying to get down? Good luck and send me a PM when you're ready.
