Mandrel bends are in!

Definate improvement in power. I think the crush bend before the muffler was really choking things up.

New 3" to 2.5" transition from Burn's Stainless. The installer suggested installing a band clamp so the cat back can be seperated. Great idea as I wanted to do this anyway.
