Stock exhaust pipe question

I have a 96 V6 camaro. I was wondering if the stock pipe was mandrel bent. I always heard mandrel flowed 20% better so i was just wondering. Also was size pipe is on it. I am deciding between a new catback or a complete system with high flow cats and headers.

Re: Stock exhaust pipe question

I don't think stock pipes are mandrel bent, they have ridges in them

Re: Stock exhaust pipe question

yeah, stock parts are not mandrel bent, thats an extra cost deal, meaning chevy aint paying for it also, the catback vs complete depends on your fundage, if you got the money, the full system is worth it, if you dont, the catback will defineatly add a few hp, and make the car much more fun to drive cuz of how it sounds.
