The mandrel bending process ensures smooth, unrestricted exhaust flow throughout the system, minimizing turbulence and backpressure. The use of OE-style flanges and band clamps guarantees a secure, leak-free connection that matches factory standards.
Welded-on bayonet hangers maintain precise pipe alignment and stability, even under the high vibration and heat conditions typical of heavy-duty truck use. The polished 6-inch tips not only enhance aesthetics but also resist discoloration and corrosion over time.
