Is Pipe Reduction Putting the Squeeze On Your Performance?
|
|
PROBLEM: Pipe diameter reduction is a common problem with OEM style bent tubing. In a sharp bend, this reduction may be as much as 20%. A 2" diameter pipe may see a flow reduction equivelant to a 1-3/4" diameter pipe. In effect, this reduces the entire system's flow capacity to the smaller dimension and increases backpressure.

SOLUTION: Mandrel bent tubing maintains its diameter throughout the length of tubing regardless of the bend. The flow capacity in the bend is the same as the straight-away. No reductions equals no added backpressure. All MagnaFlow system tubing is mandrel bent to assure system-wide high-flow. |
