Default Mandrel bends are in!

Big props to the guys at Induktion. I couldn't be happier. I was waiting for 5 hours but it was well worth it for a job well done!

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

New Mandrel bend into muffler:



New Mandrel bends before resonator:



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.


Complete system from 'Y' back:


Resonator and muffler:

Default They quoted me 2-3 hours but, of course, it took over 4...

They only charged me for 3 hours, though, at $75 an hour.

Default With the cat-back, yes, for now. I may opt to swap out the resonator eventually but that won't be

for awhile if I decide to.

Thanks!
