Air Intake piping
 

Would a cold air intake pipe work as charge piping or will it be to weak?

Re:Air Intake piping
 

Im sure it would work. Some ppl use rubber hose....

Anny cold air intake should work as charge pipes.I would stay away frome the Iceman c.a.i though.Its made of plastic.It would proabable work but I wouldnt use it.

I would get mandrel bends from www.jcwhitney.com

If you know exactly what you need you could just order all the parts and piece them with hose( preferabley silicon)

those big ass 3" cai's will give you more lag than a 2.5" pipe if you have a small turbo on a small engine (ie a honda). but if you have a bigger engine(>2.5L) then go for the 3".

damn... shipping cost $25. Almost half of what the mandrel bend pipings cost... :o

Re:Air Intake piping
 

Go to www.speedpartsrus.com the bends are cheaper and the shipping is lower than JC Whitney. Whitney takes forever to shipp also, its usually like two to four weeks every time I ordered from them(it's been a while, a few years).
Everything you would need to run pipping on a car, two 180s four 90s and two 45s would be $80 with shipping at speedpartsrus. Why mess around with used parts trying to make them fit when you can get brand new stuff for under a hundred bucks shipped to you door?
