Re:Input on mandrel bent group buy
Well I got a custom intercooler and no piping so yeah I would be interested. I vote for 2.5" because it will work with customcoach or tyrus intercoolers and I know a lot of people on this forum have them. I also vote for cheap quality.
ill be in for mild steel 2.5"

Re:Input on mandrel bent group buy
Yes indeed. I have 600 lbs 
of mandrel piping arriving first thing Monday morning, so we'll be ready to rock and roll. I'm working on finishing up an FMIC kit for the 3000GT crowd this weekend (I'm taking a breather right now and back at it!) so I can get the guy's donor car back to him. I'll try to get all the info on the group buy up within the next couple of days.
Thanks for the input.

Okay - how many 90's, 45's, 180's and couplers would be preferable - obviously, there will be different needs for different cars, so I'll have to do something general but hopefully will work for most makes.
I'm thinking two of each in 2.5", mild steel and six couplers with solid stainless high torque clamps for around $115.00 shipped.
Thoughts?

Re:Input on mandrel bent group buy
115 sounds like a pretty fair price imo. 2.5 prefferably. could you make a kit for no i/c? (water injection). just so you know, I'm not going to be able to buy this anytime soon, just giving my input.

Re:Input on mandrel bent group buy
I want to paint my piping black. :P I guess as long as it was durable, it wouldn't really matter what material you use. I think alot of people would go for the price on that kind of ----. I also think 2" piping would be fine. The only thing with 2.5" openings is the intercooler? I don't think you would see any difference with 2". Hey, the pressure might even build faster. 
Im not ready for piping yet, I just felt customcoach was looking for more opinions.

Re:Input on mandrel bent group buy
I think $115 shipped is a smokin' deal. Those couplers are expensive and mandrels are pretty pricey also. You figure shipping on average will cost $15 so that would be $100 for enough mandrel bends and couplers to plumb an entire setup. I'd like to find someone that could get a better deal. I hope you're still around when I start my next setup customcoach.
