: HI, Would you be more specific as to what is no longer as authentic? Would I be correct in guessing the bends are not done on a mandrel anymore?

I believe that's the case but I'm not sure as I don't have one to look at.The last one I saw had a smaller radius bend in the header pipe.The tail pipe was the same as I remember.The bends in the tailpipe were (are?) to the nearest inch to the original where Ford used fractional measurements such as 10-5/8" radius.They were very close and I believe that hasn't changed.The differences between the Aries muffler and the original are still insignificant from a functional standpoint.
