Does anyone know where I can get some mandrel bends done on some aluminum piping? I live near florin road, but will travel a little if necessary! Thanks

maybe some muffler shops in Florin??? if not there is this guy in Elk Grove..his name is Paul...at Specialized Exhaust..look him up he does some custom work.

HEYitzMEEE

Okay great thanks. I think my friend Melvin knows you haha. He drives the RSX-S. I need to get a pipe bend for my SC Intake, I need my MAF Flange and dont want to do anything extra custom. Just some bends

HEYitzMEEE

Thanks, i'll try to call around when they stop slaving me at work.

I have an intake. I don't want to purchase a whole new intake when I can just get the pipe bent once and have it work out fine...

yea but mandrel bending is hella expensive not to mention putting a maf adapter on it. Ally need is like a 5 inch piece of pipe with the maf adapter on it. I just used the silicone hose still. The silicone doesn't make heat soak like metal either. Just throwin out what I did...

HEYitzMEEE

Yeah im going to use my injen short ram to get bent. It has the maf on the short ram pipe.

what do u need bent then? Just cut off the curves that lead to ur tb and put it in the black hose that connects to ur airbox. But I'd sell the injen and get a cheap intake to cut cause with what u need it won't make a difference.

Haha yeah. Melvin wants to take a run against my sc tc haha.

You should go to one if their little meets. I'm almost always with them, then we can have our little scion talk haha.

Looks like you are heading out to a machine shop for aluminum mandrel bent pipe. Or maybe search for a racing shop in your area.

Mandrel is a little more expensive but well worth it, compared to having it crush bent.

Guest

on intakes systems the mandrel bent does work well

HEYitzMEEE

Yeah now that I was talking with a few people, I might just get an elbow coupler. Mandrel is great, doesn't restrict any airflow, but the piping is a little big... so elbow couplers sound decent for now haah.
