The muffler companies need the extra money they make off of your buying the
whole thing from them :-) Actually, the pipes you get with an entire cat
back system are mandrel (sp) bent rather than crimped like the factory
pipes. The advantage is that the bends are smoother on the inside and the
exhaust gasses flow out faster producing more power. This all sounds like
a big steaming pile of marketing hype to me but somebody will probably post
dyno results that show a real gain with mandrel bent pipes. You'll have to
decide for yourself if it's worth it.
