Default IC piping question - radius

What radius piping do you guys use for making intercooler piping? (2.5")
Im looking on magnumforce.com and they have 4 and 6" radius bends. I know i need at least one 4" radius bend because i have to clear my trac bar.
But in general did you use 4 or 6" bends?
Anyone want to throw up some bragging pictures of thier work so i can see the difference with the different bends? Thanks guys, josh

I believe that its going to vary from app to app i would use largest radius available as long as its applicable

take the measurements you can dtermine how wide the bend is by doubling the centerline radius example a 2.5" CLR bend is a 5" center to center (on the legs)

so when they say a 4" radius, is that 4" from center to center, or 4" from inside wall to inside wall?
