Ok as most of u know I've got a b16 and my plans are to boost it.

Now...I just wanted to know which would flow better? 2.5'' mandrel or 2.75'' crush bent.

The reason is I can get 2.75'' crush bent for about 140.....add 60 bucks for a muffler and that's a cheap exhaust system. 3'' seems too loud for me, I'm worried about it either hitting my shift linkage or heating the shifter up, and my goals are around 250 whp.....

I've seen the crush bends the shop does and they really don't look that bad at all.

C'mon guys. Give him an answer. I want to know the same thing.

if you're trying to get that kind of HP, i would go for the bigger exhaust, or the 3"... if you dont want 3", get the 2.75".....

personally i would shoot for lower HP and go with the 2.5"....

if ur worried about heat, get some of the heat wrap tape... it works wonders...

2.5" mandrel > 2.75" crush

2.5 mandrel bent will be more than fine for the hp you're looking to put down.
i wouldnt waste any time/mony on that press bent crap.
