im sorry if this has been discussed but i searched to no prevail. i was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to get custom intercooler piping bent for me in the southern california area? i've heard any muffler shop could do it, but i just wanted to see if anyone on here has dealt with a certain place and had good experiences. i live in long beach so around that area would be nice. thanks a lot

muffler shops crushbend when they bend it for you, you need to find a place to weld you one from mandrel bends (or the much rarer option of find a place that does mandrel bends).

is there any place that sell already bent pieces? ie 90, 60, 45 etcc degree bent piping

best way to do this is buy prebent mandrel pieces from either:

www.jcwhitney.com (overall the cheapest place for it)
www.burnsstainless.com
www.stahlheaders.com

then cut/piece together your piping and mark which piece needs to be welded to which and the orientation of which it needs to be welded, THEN take it to a muffler shop for welding. it's a whole lot cheaper this way, believe me.

summit racing has the cheapest bends that I have seen...

are you guys talking about the pipes sold under the flowmaster name? would those pipes work for intercoolers?

summit catalog, header, custom header parts, they are there. under the summit name. like 17 bucks or so depending on size, radius, etc.

does anyone know wat size and type of bend piping i should buy in order to make custom i/c plumbing for a front mount intercooler on an s13 coupe? ill most likely be buying them from MeMe from these forums. i just want to know the radius of the plumbing, wat type of bends would make it a bit easier for me, how much plumbing i need, etc.

what size pipe would you sudjest from the turbo to the throttle body. Right now I have 2in which seems a little to small.
