the diameter of the pipe at the bend is less than the original diameter of the pipe. they crush the pipe in to bend it, because the material has to go somewhere [conservation of mass]. smaller diameter in the bends = MAJOR loss of air flow.

Yeah--- don't buy. You can make better IC piping with mandrel bends (diameter of pipe is consistant throughout the bend).

haha, DaX, nice VX O2 wiring in the sig

thanks man, couldn't have done it without your help!

You can buy mandrel bends online from JC Whitney in either Aluminized or Stainless Steel.

I spend about $40 on pepboy piping and use silicone host to attach it together.. i can pick my diameter for where i wanted to be....

IMO custom pipe is cheaper and better..
