Is this bend restrictive or is it angled where it won't effect anything

Is this bend restrictive or is it angled where it won't effect anything Just as the title states. I never noticed this until I took pics today. This is my X pipe by the way.

In all honesty, I have NEVER seen a bend that sharp on any exhaust unless it was on a turn down. 45deg bend? Holy ****!! Actually, It probably doesn't restrict much since its in an xpipe, If it were a TD setup w/o x or h pipe, then definitely yes. but for that application, probably not

Yes its custom TD's, and it goes up due to whatever the hell that S bar is under there. The drivers side pipe goes underneath the bar and the passenger side is over top the bar, thus requiring that bend. Both of which go into that X pipe that that bend connects to.
leave it alone.

If I'm looking at it right, it goes over the trans mount on the drivers side but since your converter is probably gone, it can go under the mount on the passenger side so no sharp bend. Your headers look very low, are they SLPs, they are known for having shitty ground clearance.. just wondering

^ Then that bend makes sense. I wouldn't worry about restriction but its such a sharp angle, I would be concerned with speed bumps maybe. The ones where I am aren't always round humps, they're a trapezoid shape with angled arches and they look like they're bolted down. I think it would bang it pretty good rather then kind of grind over it.

Actually no clearance issues at all. Been over several speed bumps in past 3 years and never hit. My car is not lowered. Also the piping is 2.25, is that an issue??
