well i just bought a new muffler for my 1997 integra gs, and i just have the muffler. And i was looking at it i noticed that my OEM muffler has a bent tube conecting the muffler to another tube. I belive that the bent tube is called a mandrel bent tube, correct me if i am wrong. And i was wondering if the best idea to put on the new muffler is to cut the mandrel bent tube, or get a new mandrel bent all together.. PLEASE HELP!

Thank you
