nOOOO.....please no more Rice parts!
Exhaust companys like Magnflow and others spend hundreds of hours making exhaust systems for our Nissan/Infinities looking for the right sound and HP increase. Don't even think some muffler dude can throw togeather a system that comes close to the major companys. I know Tony at MotorDyne spent a long time perfecting his exhaust systems, that doesn't happen over night and the gains are far more than 5 HP. According to DSPORT mag, synthetic oil is worth 4 RWHP in a 370Z. I picked up 24 RWHP between the MD spacer, HKS exhaust and my BERK'S HFCs "dyno proven". I love how NOOBS come on here and throw out their theorys based on what?

Go back to reading your super tuner mags and saving your allowance for what they say is the "best."
dont forget that they also make your motor sound like a V12. but it's an upgrade and they are backordered until February 30th.
You are correct, most run-of-the-mill muffler/mechanic shops don't. Dunno how it is in your area, but any larger city should have atleast a shop or two that does mandrel bends...all it is is a specific machine. I know there's several around here, but then again this area may be a little more prominent in racing/tuning then your town.
mandrel bends do NOT restrict air flow in regards to muffler piping. the only other option is crush bends. most shops don't do them because the machines to do it are way more expensive...not because it restricts air flow.
and this was a bitch and moan thread anyway and the OP hasn't even posted since. so we adopted it and molded it into a different pissing contest.
