Ummm. Some press bend systems only flow as well as stock systems sometimes, so I would hold off for a mandrel bent system if I were you

i'd go for mandrel bent as well. Ive seen a twin system on an AU with press bends and the pipe was crushed to about half the size around the spare tyre well.

How much was the quote?

I personally wouldn't touch a press bent system, I paid the extra for mine when I upgraded.

Seems a bit pricey for just that considering I paid just under $800 for a full twin system from the cats back with twin mufflers and a 2 in 2 out resonator.

I'd keep looking.

Don't get hotdogs, get resonators, hot dogs are rather restrictive.
