Did anyone know something about these low cost exhaust system
M-5230-M51 ?
Mandrel Bend ??

There were a few guys over at the Corral who liked it because it was louder than stock but still pretty quiet. It has mandrel bends but if I recall correctly the mufflers are only 2.25" even though the rest of the system is 2.5".

I'd ask this question over there, you're likely to get way more response.

the mufflers are only 2.25" even though the rest of the system is 2.5".

For me the only bug is the 2.25".
I have to decide between the Ford one and the Flowmaster Delta40 (I have a brand new set in my basement for my 5.0 Mustang). I have some concerns about the loudness of the Flowmaster and the compatibility with the Turbo4.

Thansk you very much for your answer.

I ended up with 2 spintech mufflers on my exhuast. nice mello tone not loud. get lots of compliments. oh i am running an A237 Cam

Spintechs are also really small for better placemnt and less fitment issues.
