Not mandrel bent?

I got 2 si/so flowmasters with 2 seperate pipes on my truck but, the pipe is not mandrel bent. Is this a big power decreaser because if it is im kinda dissapointed to pay 300 bucks for bad flow. Thanks (no flowmaster tellings please I found out after they got put on about the torque decrease)

Mandrel bent pipes are a plus... especially if there are a lot of sharp bends in the exhaust and your pushing 500+ hp. But i seriously dont think that you are going to notice any difference on your ride. You'll be fine.
