I know its hard to visualize but this is what happened on some of the earlier y-pipes we used to build. I do have 4 of those 3" tight radius cast bends for sale ill make you a killer deal on if you want to experiment with them. The thing is they are so thick the inner diameter is only about 2.65". All of this basically left me liking the 90 degree coupler design the best.
Thanks for that info. It makes a lot more sense to me now and I just replaced my plastic Spectre piece with a 4-ply silicone in it's place.
