No Crinkles in the Bend Traditional aftermarket systems make use of crush bent pipes as part of their exhaust system. While these pipes are efficient in bending the pipe, they may cause crinkles in the bend. This will cause the inside diameter to decrease, thus restricting the engine’s capability of providing optimum power and fuel efficiency. Mandrel bends, on the other hand, help reduce this issue by using a die to support the pipe when it is being bent. This die protects the pipe from crinkling or collapsing while being bent. Therefore, using a mandrel bent exhaust system will ensure optimum power as well as maximum fuel efficiency from your car engine.

Standard Shape The strongest shape for tubing happens to be a circle. However, standard benders only achieve an egg shaped tubing structure, which is not only weak but is not efficient as well. Many individuals, in fact, reveal that they are using mandrel bends when they are not! An easy way to tell the difference is to feel the tubing right in the middle of a bend. Aluminized mandrel bends sport a more circular shaped bend that provides a stronger tubing structure. This automatically translates to other noticeable advantages in the exhaust system, including a deeper, more aggressive growl, and rumble in the exhaust.

Reduced Restriction The efficiency of exhaust system contributes to a car’s fuel efficiency and performance. The die used for a mandrel bend exhaust system is mounted on a shaft and is articulated, thus moving throughout the bending process. White grease is also injected into the pipe through the mandrel during this process. This results in a uniform, smooth bend that features a constant diameter throughout, a factor that largely contributes to the reduced restriction that stainless steel mandrel bends are famous for.
