That is the strangest design I've ever seen on a dp. It looks bloated

Yeah but he also has over 10000 positives. This is probably about the number of people that are never happy, or happened to win an auction on a holiday weekend so the item took a few more days then usual to get shipped or other extenuating circumstances. I sold a Nakamichi surround sound system and the buyer was mad because I didn't ship it until after I had received payment. He even threatened negative feedback. I had it sitting at my shipping place and it was a phone call away from being sent to him. I just had to wait until I saw the money come into my Paypal account. You can only please half the people half the time or whatever that one saying is.

notice the ripples on the curves? This is a very carefuly crush bent pipe... what he/shes doing is puting the pipe in a bender, bending it very slightly, moving it , bending it again, and keeps doing this untill the pipe is bent the way they want it. This means that the walls on the insides of those bends are VERY THIN. I bet it works, great but it wont last.

Looks like a big shiny turd if you ask me. Bottom line is you get what you pay for.

Good eye, Redline! Didn't notice that, any decent muffler shop could do that.
Here's another doozy (how in the world do you spell "doozy", doozie?):

Half-hollowed cat anyone? I certainly hope this gets absolutely no bids.

ummm ever used a tubing bender? crush bent mandrels(forms) would never leave a smooth surface no matter how careful you are. they have teeth.

I have used a tube bender for three years, it was a rotary draw mandrel bender, not the cheap rotary draws without the mandrel or the even cheaper crush bender. And every so often you will get wrinkles if your wiper die or pressure die or mandrel or speeds are not set correctly.

why will it work on "many WRX's", and not all of them?
