[V6-12v] 96 A4Q 2.8 12V cats...

[Austin Franklin]

Hi George,

That's pretty cheap.  Thanks for the info.  I wonder if they are crimp bent
or mandrel bent?  The OEM is mandrel bent, and crimp bent can be
restrictive, and cause a bit of a power loss, and if only on one side, an
imbalance between the two sides.

Regards,

Austin
