Would a 3inch NON mandrel bent catback exhaust have similar airflow as a 2 1/2 Mandel bent exhaust?

Probably close, but why go 3" non mandrel vs. 2 1/2 mandrel?? Why go bigger if it isn't worth it??
BTW: Sweet ass car man!

Cuz i'm squeezin...there are no shops here that mandrel bend..and it's cheaper to make a bigger exhaust vs. mandrel bends.. well over here anyhow.. Thanks for the compiment btw.. :-)

you can purchase mandrel bend pipes from jc whitney. they have 3" 45 degree and 180 degree mandrel bends for like 20 a piece i think. two 45 's should get you all the way from the cat. there are only two turns i beleive. thats better than copping out for the 2.5 inch imo and will be cheaper than any catback system you buy.

In the turns maybe the flow would be close, but the straight sections of 3" pipe are going to slow the exhaust gas velocity down and you'll loose low end.

Smooth idle? We don't need no stinking smooth idle.
