You could but why? Hella ghetto.

Just go to summit racing and buy a bunch of bends, a bunch of couplers, and do it all with a hacksaw if you have to. I did all mine that way, easy.

It doesn't look like it would be smooth on the inside, you're just going to ruin what turbos like, and that's smooth free-flowing air

I think it would work OK but those bends would ruin the flow.

Dude on my first kit I used pieces of stock air intakes from random cars around the junkyard and it still ran like crazy. Do what you want, if this is cheap for you do it. All intercooler pipes do is carry air to the throttle body, any pipe will do.

i think im gonna have to agree, there is no need for half ***, i dont care how poor someone is, and another thing, true- pushes the air thru the innercooler to the throttle body, false, thats not all it does, there is a lot of restriction depending on how u do your piping, hard bends instead of smooth curves in piping can cause a lot of that, I think many will agree!
