Why is mandrel-bent tubing important?
Mandrel-bent tubing is preferred over standard, “crush-bent” tubing. A Mandrel is a device that supports the interior of the tubing as it is being bent, resulting in a perfectly round pipe with smooth bends and a consistent diameter from end to end. Crush-bent tubing, tend to flatten out or wrinkle up at the bends, reducing the inner diameter of the piping substantially and robbing performance. All Bassani aft-cat exhaust systems feature mandrel-bent tubing because they provide smoother, higher-volume exhaust flow and superior performance.
