I'm about to add a Flowmaster 50 series exhaust to my '96. I'm thinking 50 series because I just can't see a V6 having a really deep sound with say the 40 series that I'd want to broadcast.
Anyway, I've done a few searches here and some people are recommending getting the muffler and then having a local shop custom bend the pipe and install it. What is the real advantage in this approach versus buying a cat-back kit that just bolts in place? Is it because welding in place is that much better than bolting?
The kit I'm looking at is a 2.5" system with the SUV 50 series with mandrel bent pipes. Isn't the mandrel bending better than a local shops bending?
Thanks for any advice or tips you might have.
