Default charge pipes

hey guys, im in the proccess if running my charge pipe in my 89 si and ive come across a problem. ive got the intercooler mounted to the bumper support and it seems that no matter what i do the charge pipe is not going to be directly straight with the outlets on the intercooler. I was wondering if i got a coupling and put it on there and it bent down a little coming from the intercooler outlet that it would be ok? Also im relocating my battery and i need to know where to get a distrubution block other than the stereo shops cause its sat and there closed!

Stereo shops closed on saterday?Is there a best buy or other big electronic stores where you live?They might have them.

As far as the chrarge pipes go as long as there is enough for it to grab on to the intercooler inlet/outlet it should be ok.Otherwise they might blow off.

as for the charge pipes....are you welding any of them together? IF so, get a hack saw and cut a few angles and reweld them to fit perfect....if not, find someone you can borrow there welder and do that .

it'll be ok if the coupler has a small kink in it. emphasizing the word small. the correct way would be to cut the right angles and weld them together.

Sawzall the routing points on the sheet metal and make your pipes work. Don't half-*** some connectors to "get it to work".
