If that exhaust doesn't leak why does it matter how it was bent.
No wonder you always thought your m8 were slow.
Here is some exhaust work done on a M8 by a shop in Marietta, GA...just absolutely beautiful work...http://www.motorcitymarauders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2718&highlight=mark+viii this is who I hope to have do my dual exhaust...OBTW does anyone know the power gain by doing duals with an X pipe?
The X-type crossover helps in preventing torque loss and does not actually contribute to HP.
