What is mandrel bent? Did everything fit ok and did you do it yourself?

 

mandrel bend means that at the bend the size stays true does not crush the pipe.. will this make any difference between the two bends ..not for our trucks..highflow cat will make a difference little louder , the only reason why i put one on is because the old one was bad (rattle) but i went 3" from the cat back to a 3" in flowmaster .

 

oh ok thanks for clearing that up. How much did your cat cost?I figure is was prolly a good bit them things are usually up there.

OT: Where in PA ya from?

 

its a magnaflow cat 190 installed , cut out the old weld in the new plus a charge to get rid of the old cat.lol....im in hershey , pa

 

oh ok not that far away then.

Figures the cheap *** tips I wanted won't work with the kit so I had to get a 64 dollar pair Which they actually cut the price by 2 dollars lol. They are magnaflow so I hope they are worth it kinda kills the cheapness of the kit when the tips cost almost as much

 

ups says it should be here Wed. I can't wait prolly won't install it till the weekend though

 

i'm personally not a fan of the flowmaster sound, i find my flopro to sound much nicer

 

flopro muffler is a knockoff of dynomax flopro(v-force) is a knock off of flowmaster (chambered)... xlerator is a knock off of a magnaflow (straight thru)

 

were you droped on your head as a child?


jk man. I love the flowmaster sound. I have them on my stang and it was only a matter of time till I had one on the ram

 

one thing to keep in mind is the output sizes... if you want high flow, single in dual out (2.5" outs) will get you there but at the cost of low end. if you want low end torque to stay put, then have the installer reduce the outputs right after the muffler to 2.25"... that will be slightly larger in flow area compared to a single 3" and will offer great flow but keeping low end torque.
