The only place that may be doesnt look mandrel bend is the 3-4 inch pipe to fit the cowbell, but hey, what a curve!

That'* correct. From the Y pipe to the mufflers is not mandrel bent. It had to be a custom bend because no one makes pipes for this car.
The connection from the 2 1/2" muffler to the 2" original tips was really tricky to fabricate because I wanted to keep the original tips in their original location. Actually I moved them back about 1/2" for a slightly better look.
Because the tips are only 2", I wasn't going to be fussy about slightly elongated bends in 2 1/2" tubes.
The sound is deep and sweet.
I opened it up during a ride a few minutes ago and I don't hear the whine of the supercharger much at WOT now
I really need to use those drag slicks now. Traction or rather lack of is very noticeable. I almost get the feeling that mileage will improve too, as long as the right foot stays off the floor.

It'* all 304 stainless steel too.
except those aluminum cowbells.

I can hear the engine growl.

....maybe I should do a trial fit on the 2.8" pulley.

Here'* one for you O'Neil.

The 3" tubing looks small compared to the tunnel....should've gone with 6"

Notice the extra O2 plug I had installed for that wideband analyser.

Just came back from another run.
OMG, this Bonne has just undergone a transformation.
There is absolutely no knock retard with the 3.2 pulley. Tires will break free at any speed.
The sound is indescribeable.
