2in is good.... im using 2.5 so its consistent with the IC and throttle body. what gauge pipe did they use?

It looks good except for around where your foot is... it looks like the machine pinched it a bit???

but for 10 bucks thats a good deal

Re:Charge Pipes (kinda homemade)
 

i used both 2' and 2.5'.......

from turbo to intercooler, i have 2', and from intercooler to TB i have 2.5 inch.......

you should be fine....

I thought about that a while back. It seemed like a pretty damn good idea IMO. The only bad thing is the only muffler shop around here doesn't have a mandrel bender. :-\

Hey those aren't mandrel bent! :o When they get into tight bends they start to cruch and crinkle together and they look like ----. Yours seem pretty good since the bends weren't too outrageous.

To be honest if you dont want ne bends what you gonna want to start hydroforming :), because even madrel bends get small dents in the center of the curves.

Re:Charge Pipes (kinda homemade)
 

this is call "PUSH BEND" my shop uses it and it's good enough.. for our projects, it's better than crush bend or no pipes... the boost flows such at cfm and 7-8psi, it's strong enough. i use this for my exhaust

Re:Charge Pipes (kinda homemade)
 

can you explain this more? i dont see how it can be anything but mandrel or crushed.
