crushed piping or mandral bent? cost?

i guess there is 2 ways to bend pipes mandral bent and crushed piping, is there a difference on what i should do? what is a good price to go from cat to the next flange, almost to the mufler, i put on a mufler from flowmaster and the guys at the shop were making fun of me cuz of the small piping. oh ya and what size should i get? 2" or 2.25?

update on ride, what i did this week:
new rs grill
tyc halo lights
new cf hood, one with no scraches, oem
front door speekers
flowmaster 60 series muffler

on sat or mon going to do custom piping...

if u can get mandrel bends, go for it..crush bent piping is a lil more restrictive..i think most places its like..15 bucks a bend..i could be wrong though.

im happy with the way it sounds and that was all i was lookin for anyways i have a dx so there is no power anyways.wanted something that would not scrape, so those big cans just are not for me...i also hate the way most of those mufflers sound, some do though sound good, there loud and thats about it, i wanted to be different also, everyone has the same stuff on there rides, i have so much more flow though now with the piping all done, and im picking up my headers next weekend...
