Crushed bent pipes?

Is it ok to use bent pipes that you can buy at an autoparts store for charge pipes? They have the small ripples in the bends, will this affect it much?
Thanks

Nope, it will work just fine, Beau used them on his Turbo B16a for awhile... Better than plastic pipes..

I hope you are planning to replace this with mandrel bends at some point.. Those bends are not ideal for turbo for the same reason they are not ideal for exhaust. It will work but is somewhat wastefull.
