Are not all decent aftermarket performance exhausts mandrel bent?

If so why do people prattle on about how there's is mandrel bent as if it was such a rarity?

Mongeese are 2.5". Me and Bren had a little 'discussion' about this a while ago. He went and measured one. I won.:D

Fair enough, but I still don't understand why some people who have a mandrel bent exhaust go on about it all the flippin time.

Lol @ arguing over 1/4 of an inch! ;) :D

I suppose it is width that's important though...

Anyway, are you all agreed that it's 2.25"

It's the same sort of thing as when people advertise their products as being "aircraft grade aluminium" which means precisely nothing.
