Which model Y pipe???
Okay so I want to get in on this group deal but I dpn't know what pipe I need. I really don't know alot about Y pipes so I would love some help. What is the difference between bent and non bent? I have a 97 GXE so what should I get? Thanks for all the help!

I guess the non bent would have welds? It would make sense. Just get one from budget exhaust. Basically all y pipes are the same, you will just pay for the name.
This may help....

if you're getting in on the GD, then i think there's only one option which is mandrel bent aluminized pipe.
mandrel bent means that they bend it a certain way so that the diameter's the same throughout the pipe. So if you were to get a 2.5" mandrel bent y-pipe then it'd be 2.5" throughout the whole pipe. If it was a 2.5" non-mandrel bent y-pipe then you won't have 2.5" at the curves. Get what I'm saying? Hope this helped.
