I dont understand why you can't...I say go for it. :)

Re:Old air intake pipes for charge pipes.
 

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.

cold air=yes

stock intake pipe=why?

i've learned that you can use ANYTHING for charge piping...mandrel bends are the best though.

How far from the throttle can the BOV be? As close as i can or can it be a foot awwy?

Re:Old air intake pipes for charge pipes.
 

anywhere....and as for mandrel bends being the best (ONIN), what do you think a cai is?

Re:Old air intake pipes for charge pipes.
 

I assumed that mandrel bending for cold air intakes was already understood and thus, given. If not, well then it should be common knowledge anyway. I was just reassuring him that mandrel bends are the best way to run all, if not most, of the charge piping because even though one uses a CAI, they would still need mandrel bends to complete the rest of the charge piping.

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