Default New RMB- mandrel bent

We just got in the first of our new black RMB. It is now being made by the same manufacture as our stainless RMB and RMS system which untilizes mandrel bending that insures a constant diameter. Other RMB's (including our old version) are bent with outside pressure which decreases the diameter and increases back pressure.

I know I'm one of the few that would want this but can these RMB's be made with the stock oval tip?

Mark,

Does the bending process affect the tone of the exhaust?

The mandrel bent version will still be at the same price as the old version. The weight of the new black RMB is 8.65. We have no plans on offering an oval tip version.
