Exhaust bends ?

Hey guys I am getting a cat back exhaust next week and was wondering if there is any considerable difference between 2.25" press bent piping and 2.25" mandrel bent ?

The guy at the garage said at 2.25" it wouldn't make any difference
I did look at google but it refers to larger exhausts :idk:

just looking for some opinions/info

Cheers

most JDM cat backs are mandrel bent 60mm/2.25 inch (inner diameter)

go for mandrel bends when possible, the diameter is consistent throughout the exhaust including the bends

the factory exhaust is press bent and has a smaller diameter in the bends
