    press bent looks like a cambels soup can when its bent, all ripply and shit, mandrel looks like u would think a pipe bend should look, clean and somewhat uniform.
    Yeah, it was very nicely done. It was NOT pressbent then. He said it was ~$200 less than he got quoted at SLS, but he got a discount.

        I wouldn't doubt it. He got what he paid for, but it was what he wanted.

          So then it's technically 2.5'' since 3'' pressbent corners flow like 2.5''.

          How would that be technically? Its 3" pipe. While the bends may slightly smaller the pipe is still 3"

          FASTER THAN DUBBSY

            Measure the inside diameter of a pressbent 3'' pipe. The flow is only as good as the smallest portion....

            At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

              Yes, I know that, but its still just a 3" pipe

                No where did I say it wasn't 3''. I simply stated it was "technically 2.5''" since the 3'' pressbent flows like 2.5'' Mandrel. This is irrelevant because we already came to the conclusion it was mandrel bent, therefore it is full 3''.

                  The flow characteristics may be like 2.5" pipe when 3" is pressbent, but it is still 3" pipe so its not technically 2.5"
