Turbo exhaust?

[USMC45]

MANDREL BENT or it doesn't matter. I've read a lot of threads where people mention Mandrel Bent is better & I've read threads of where when going Turbo that Exhuast isn't the that important as appossed to a S/C. Sooooo.....what is everybody's opinion, its gonna have all supporting mods soon enough, already on the way there before I go FI. Mandrel or NOT Important, thanks for any help & input.

Mandrel bends have much of an increase in flow, but size would make more of a difference. my truck i have non mandrel bends, im not looking to have 900 horse but price to performance really does not match for me i found 2 90's for 15 best deal i've ever seen. other then that normal price is like 15-25 per bend. i got mine from local parts store 2.5" for 4 dollars a bend. my drivers side has 2 90's and 1 45. passengerside only used a 45. ill have to upload some pictures.

this was b4 i ran the exhaust only picture i have that u can really see in like 5-6am long night of workin on it and took an overhead shot of it with my phone. will try to add few more photos with exhaust on here also. kinda crappy job but hey i think im doing ok. this is just a test motor and setup factory manifolds upside down with 90's off that. funnier yet if u seen the truck, perfect sleeper old farm truck beat up on :P have to finish up with wastegates any plumbing the boost stuff. external wast gates x2 its the cheap ebay TT kit. like 1k or so nothing special. other then the turbo header's guys said to fit 88-98 truck hit heater core hoses, the steering column and etc and made it almost impossible to run exhaust had turbos to be mounted mid motor, bad setup but i was dumb and bought it not thinking so i have 2 useless headers that i ended up cutting to try to get to work but ended up a lost cause so i have header flanges out of the deal, again i am young and this is my first project of my own, so learning.
