is the steel from CCA aluminized??? will that make it hader to weld???

any clue where to get it for a good price???

cca has 90 bends for 10.50 for steel and 15 for stainless..... you think i can find it cheaper than that?

Stainless intercooler piping is not necessary. mild steel and just paint it is fine. If your going to spend real money on chargepipes than get aluminum.

yea id is inside diameter and od is outside diameter or overdosing? :P i got all my charge pipes from that place. i just measured by eye how much i would need then i ordered it, along with a flex pipe. all 2 1/2" od.

Custom coach and TunerToys both carry bends. So don't go buying them from some jack that doesn't sponsor your favorite website. :P

just pick up steel bends from CCA and paint them black...the money saved can be put elsewhere
