i see it shows their theory but does it still maintain the:

we had to torch a hole before the mandrel bending process as one could not be drilled on the bend after the bending process?

i only say this as this is the main comment that turned me after trying to help them!

it was easier and more truthful to admit it was their process and they would have kept the respect of the community!

or even lied and said shite we'll have to get onto our manufacturer and put an end to it?

obviously the truth being the better option!

Yes, the hole is not perfect and the appearance is not the prettiest. This is something we can agree with you. However, this is the best process in manufacturing. You cannot drill a hole and design a hole that leads to our reservoir tank without breaking any mandrel bent piping. If it was a straight pipe, then yes we can manufacture a perfect circle. You might ask why can we not drill a hole into the piping?? When our exhaust is manufactured, we do all the welding on our piping, muffler, and tip first on our jig. This is to maintain proper fitting and position of our exhaust features. Therefore, using a torch is the best way without breaking or stretching inside and outside before any mandrel bending.
By no means, the size of the hole and the appearance of the hole has no affect whatsoever regarding performance and power. It only affects the tone, back pressure, and air ratio flow.

sorry but:

1, a torched hole is 1000 times worse than a drilled hole before mandrel bending

2, please we all know it was done on the jig during the welding process and a drill can be used there or on the part prior the jig

Honestly with all the respect I have for you as a person, I don't know a word your trying to say or what your argument is.

i now bow out as long as i'm left out of the conversations!!!

However, we as a "community" are still waiting on the so called dynoes that Uber promised multiple times to support his accusations.
