hi

i'm considering to get the custom midpipe to finish up my I/HE mod.
the problem is most shop do Crush bent instead of Mandrel bent. also the price differences is huge due to the bent manchine cost more (this is quote from the shop owner).
so should i settle down with the crush bent pipe? the guy told me that the RSX midpipe has less bents (2 bents) so crush bent or mandrel bent wont do much difference on performance. is that true?

neilff

what was the quote on the crush bent and what was the quote on mandrel?

exhaust piping isnt a huge issue unless you are driving a really mean machine, like some hardcore n/a machine that really needs the least bends possible, or a turbo which has the same rule applied

now if its just for looks/sound/little boost in performance, then dont worry, the 2 bends wont make much of a difference

thx i think i just settle down with the crush bent

about the price.....i didnt get the best deal yet...most shop are overpriced for the SS crush pipe.(~$300+tax)

Brullen quote me $400+tax for mandrel SS midpipe with resonator and this is the best deal i had(i still thinking should i take this deal)

Just do the crush bent, unless your building a killer 500+hp car and your a prof. race car driver you won't notice the 1-2 hp difference between the 2!

Thank you MAZDA KID, alway's trying to help.
and maybe you should be S2000 KID now!

s2000 kid lol....keep in mind my friend I still have the mx6 unfortunately its now considered my winter bitch lol. In comparison to the cars ahead, yes i loved the car dearly seeing as how it was my first. So i guess from a sentimental stand point you can say I will keep mazda kid for that reason. But I might consider a name change if i am persuaded to do so.

i still dont think people know i own the s2000, they come to the meet and they see civic-civic-civic-del sol-civic-crx-civic-s2000-civic-civic hold on back up is than an s2000? lol
