Default GMMG, need help please!
Hey I need some help guys, I am trying to replace the two mandrel bends that go from the chambers to the tips on my GMMG. The reason I am having to ask for help is becuase I haven't seen the car in a month and a half and won't have a chance to measure them for another week! Please give me a hand so I can order my bends and have everything ready when it comes out of the shop. I just need the measurement from the chambers to the tips, and maybe the measurement from the weld on the chamber to where the bend starts. Thank you!

My car is at our shop, but I can check it tomorrow for you if no one has done it before then.

From the chamber to the tip, the drivers side is ~24" and the passengers side is ~21". The chamber to the bend is ~9.5"

Hey man, are those measurements from chamber to tip on the outside of the bend (towards front of car) or on the inside (towards rear of car)?
