Looking to build a custom intake for my Vortech; need 3.5" mandrel bent pipe. Reccomendations? Burns Stainless is pricey!

 

http://www.SummitRacing.com carries the Hooker pre-bent mandrels... look up the pipe you want at http://www.holley.com/hookerheaders/ (go under "Components and Accessories") ... when you find the part number you want, go to summit racing's website, drop the "HKR" off the end of the part number. Put a HOK- in front of the part number (such as HOK-32540) and do a parts number lookup (off of summit's main page).

 

bends

 

JCWhitney has 16 gauge mandrel bends up to 4" IIRC. I paid something like $16 ea. for 180deg. 2.5".

 

4" or larger mandrel bends for intakes?


try calling around for your local diesel truck shop. a company that puts diesel engines in boats is local to me... thats where ive been getting alot of alum "scrap" and large tubing from.

 

I've been looking to get a custom setup on my car as well. something like the SLP duel CAI kit but with polished 3.5" tubbing. I really wish there was a elbow that left the TB and went in both directions. Something like the trickflow LT1 elbow but going in both directions. I was thinking of buying 2 and cutting them in half and having them welded. here are some other things to look at
