Maremont : Good Brand of Exhaust Pipe ?

My muffler shop is ordering a 3 inch connector pipe ( between cat and muffler) from Maremont. Is that a good brand ? DO they crimp the pipe when it bends? My current pipe has a crimp in it where it bends around some suspension part and into the muffler. It also tapers down to 2 1/2 inches at the muffler inlet. Maybe I should order something from Summit. Just wanted to know what to expect if I opt for the Maremont (pipe plus labor = $100 at the shop)... Thanks

at the parts shop I work at they deal with maremont...it is wrinkle bent, not mandrel. It's bent like the stock system, and will look like the stock system. Maremont makes stock replacement exhaust products, not performance parts.

Thanks. Stock would be fine. Sounds like Maremont is OK, then. I'm just looking to maintain the level of performance I have now.
