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.

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

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