dude, yes you can. My charge pipes consist of 4 90 mandrel bends, 4ft of blower hose from hose express, and an AEM cai. The results are very clean and prfessional looking;especially if you get your mandrel bends powdercoated to match your intake. I also mounted my bov in place of that thingy that goes to the valve cover.

BUT YES, mandrel bending is used in the manufacturing of cold air intake systems.
