You've seen my intake haven't you? What the exhaust shop did for mine
was to cut a 90 degree elbow in half and weld the tw 45's on each end of a
pipe.
They couldn't bend the 45's for one reason or another (different planes
might
have something to do with it). The welds came out a little rought on the
outside,
but fairly smooth on the inside. The shop charged me $40 for mine and I
think
most of that was profit for them :-(
I do like the idea of the Jet-Hot as i have noticed performance decrease
when it's hot out. That aluminumized steel really heats up with the headers.
I
wrapped pipe insulation on it, but couldn't stand the looks of it. Anyway,
