Exactly what I expected. The mandrel bent the 1.5 inch pipe. 1000 grit sandpaper, then 1500 grit and some car polish and it looks great. If they polished it at the factory, it would lose that luster with handling. What type has no buffer and no car polish?
Well it's a pipe. Mario could have given a better rating. For me it's just a tube. It is not polished and does not shine like in the photos. Seems to have a nice tight mandrel bend. The wall thickness is just right for the header or wastegate I'm using it on. So it's a tube.
