i cant see press bent causing any problems, although its not ideal at all.. find an exhaust guy with a mandrel bender if possible.. or just buy pre-bent pipes online.. and cut them to fit

there is some theory that you loose1/4 to1/2 lb for each crush bend or something like that because it isn't mandrel and smooth air flow. For what you and i are running, A little here and there will be fine.I dont think i will og pass 10psi if even that far.
IMO.. I personally am gonna have one because of my new FMIC and i don't feel like sending out for (1) new bend so all my pipes but one will be mandrel.

Yea... i'm using all mandrel bent pipe except for the one i need pressbent is going from the drivers side of the IC over the top of it, then back down and onto the turbo... and for all who didn't get that.... ( THE CHARGE INLET PIPE)

Use it temporarily then switch to mandrel when you can. JC Whitney sells 180 ubends.

I have an extra Mandrel bent U-bend... but it's almost too big... like too wide of a u-bend if you understand what i'm saying...

You mean the degree of the bend is not right. Well.....I wouldn't ever recommend crush bends. Not even if u were goin n/a. But if you KNOW you're gonna be able to replace it later, it's not gonna kill ur car. Besides, running 5psi you wont be making much power anyway.

ya... it wouldn't be for very long at all... but at that rate is that even worth it???

its worth it to have mandrel...not worth it to have crushed. It's just a general rule. Ask anyone. Unless u don't care about performance much. then it's w/e.

can a shop mandrel bend one pipe that goes from my drivers side of the IC over the top of the IC and then back to the Turbo outlet, ( the Inlet charge pipe)... can a mandrel bender make that all into one pipe??? and how much do you think that would cost me?

Sure it's definitely possible but I'm not sure what they'd charge. If it were me I'd buy the piping myself and just take it to them to weld after I cut it up.
