bends with consistent cross sections typically do not restrict exhaust flow. If they were crush bent, then it’s time to worry. ---

[quote=“90NA300ZX,post:3,topic:34331"”] i can’t get over the exhaust pics…just looks like it wouldn’t really flow well at all with all those **unnecessary** zig-zag bends… [/quote] Yeah really. Who cares if the exhaust bangs on the rear diff at every bump as long as those pipes are straight as an arrow.
