How important is that factory bend in the exhaust system? Mine's been out since I bought the XJ, since it fell off. I'm adding a muffler to my setup soon and will be finally welding my exhaust together. I was wondering if that bend is crucial for the XJ.

Wait after the muffler? I just have a turndown, none of that matters. I was talking about the bend in the down pipe after the flange from the headers lol. After the muffler just do whatever you want basically

Oh, OK lol. I've been doing a cat back for awhile, and I'm adding a Super 44, and was wondering if I needed that factory bend in the tailpipe lol.
Thanks man!
Thanks man!

i agree with you that there wold be a power gain, 4l, 5l, 2.5l doesnt matter. i just think that the data seems inaccurate to our engines, and that we cant judge performance gains on a different engine. but i could be completely wrong, and if i do so that would be great because i love learning new stuff. on another note would you reccommend borla over other brands based on the gains you have seen? im going exhaust shopping
