Also small diameter piping is the best because thesame amount of gas must go through a smaller opening therefore making the exhaust gas go really fast and giving you more horespower.

HUH??????

Your second post is obviously sarcastic, but if mandrel bent tubing is NOT superior, why in gods name does every single exhaust company bother to spend the MASSIVE amounts of money to do it instead of crush bending...

Mandrel bent is superior, but huge piping isnt. Exhaust velocity is important and with huge piping you will lose that. But crimp bending creates turbulence, which isn't good.
