Why do exhaust pipes have so many bends in them???
every time the cars up on a ramp i cant stop thinking that if the pipe was stright or nearly straight all the way to the back box surely it would have better breathing
am i just thinking rubbish or is there a reason for the pipe being all bendy with neary 90 degres bends. looks to me that thery're just bendy so they can fit around other parts
anyone?

its not just bending round things, they make certain bends to lower the noise and change the pitch....
if you have a kink in a pipe here and there it can also change back pressure to the engine.

I mate of mine had a mk 1 escort mexico back in the day, it was equipped with straight through cherry bombs, suffice to say the neighbours loved him especially when he used to come home from his girls house in the early hours
