Default intercooler piping

okay, my brother works at midas, and i was wondering if it really matters whether or not the piping is mandrel bent? they could probably do all the piping for 80 bucks, but it will just be crush bent, will this dramatically affect the flow of my turbo?

Crush bent piping can reduce flow by over 30%, and while that may no seem like a huge deal, it does reduce the efficency of your compressor and it is a power loss.
