Default Exhaust Shop Piping

Well my 14b compressor outlet has such a ------- shitty bend to run piping. I was talking to my tuner and currently I'm using some ghetto radiator hose that it slightly leaking and increasing my time to full boost. So I'm ordering the weld flange from RoadRace. He said I should run over to a exhaust shop with a bent clothes hanger and have them make the bend then weld the flange to the bend. Do you thing theyre crush bent piping would be a decent way to go? Or try and get it to manuever with mandrel bends?

Also I'm running all 2 inch piping before the intercooler and 2.5 after. Think this is ------- me over anyway? I always heard 2in in up is suitable. Just wondering if this could be raping my pressure. But doesnt colder air expand anyway?

The differnt pipe sizes are fine.

Crush bent pipes are fine too. I use them. Just don't ask taht question on h-t... They'd never agree!

HT never agrees with anything practical. its easier to just go get the crush piping done and leave my pipes 2in to 2.5 since its already that way.
