3" press bent or 2.5" mandrel bent? which is better for my RL

[yianco465]

I have tried numerous local muffler shops asking about a full 3" mandrel bent exhaust and most of them don't have mandrel bent and the ones that have mandrel bent they do only until 2.5". I can get a 3" press bent full exhaust all the way from the collector of my Jason Smith header ( with a customized pipe, flex pipe, high flow cat, muffler) for about $350. I have seen some peoples dynos with the 3" but I don't know if that 3" exhaust on the dyno was mandrel or press bent and I am undecided about whether to get this custom made 3" press bent full exhaust system or just order a company 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust pipes and have my local muffler shop weld them.

Press-bent is garbage. It take at least .5" off the true diameter, not to mention the horrible turbulance it causes in around the bends...
