Default Charge piping not perfectly mandrel bent..

Most of my charge piping is 2.5 mandrel... but there is a section that isnt perfectly mandrel...
I know how crutial that an exhaust is mandrel, but how important is it that the charge piping is?

Just something i was wondering..

For best results you want good flowing bends, not something that is crushed.. it works the same for charge piping as it does for exhaust.

there are only 2 small parts that are crush bent.. one is by my throttle body, the other is where it would go in the wheel well for the cold air equivalent... and the bend is really not that bad...

Then don't worry about it. It will work.
