Is it ever worth it to have a 3" i-pipe put in? Is it true that crush bends are really that much worse than mandrel bends?

Do you have a crush bend somewhere in your I? I'm still running the stock I myself but I don't remember seeing a crush bend anywhere. It's a little flat over the axel but no crush bends.

No, there are no crush bends in the stock I. But the shop that was goin to do my exhaust only does crush bent. So i was goin to try and find a place to do mandrel bends if its worth it.
