Mandrel bending is always worthwhile, if only for appearance sake. And
you've got to figure that those kink-and-bend outside roller corners must
screw up the reflected waves.
For all my planning and scheming I'm not going to be able to go to
mid-Ohio either. My original transport scheme blew up, and the best I can
find will cost me about $4,000. Add in plane fare and hotel and it's a $5K
race. A bit spendy for me, even if it is once in a lifetime. Worse yet, my
business needs some TLC right now. I'm really disappointed, I was thinking
of just coming myself and leaving the car, but that would be torture.

Amici,
It is time for an exhaust system on the ITA TR6. The rules state that it
must exit behind the driver. The car has SS headers that reduce down to
2- 1.75 " pipes.
Should I go with a collector into a single 2.5 or 3"?
Is mandrel bending worth the extra $?
What kind of racing muffler flows the best?
Thanks in advance.
Sadly I won't be able to go to Mid-Ohio, my son is having surgery.
