DIY mate.

I think places like Autobarn or Supercheap may sell mandrel bent tubes, but fairly pricy IMO. Someone suggested to me to go to Reece's plumbing and get some copper piping and use that as it's cheaper or alternatively, go to an exhaust shop like Midas and get the right tubes and get it bent up.

Can you get defected if a cop is having a bad day with those?

U can get defected for having a pod filter, especially if it is not secured via a bracket

But you can't get defected for a CAI

You should see how dodgy mine is atm(supported and boxed off by cardboard

), good thing it's a Camry. Nobody will suspect a thing

this isnt what ya asked, but maby it will help. its a subject of debate, but the CAI doesnt really make a big difference, if any, on an NA motor. the piece of mind of cooler air is nice though. when i have a cai on my 1mz(not sure if its different on the 3vz) i felt no difference between that and the SRI. if it were me id just make a SRI and do it for the sound. but if your willing to get creative...a CAI isnt hard to make. i use semi rigid dryer tubing...works as good as ANYTHING else, though not very attractive.

since ya have the 3vz...you would benefit a lot more from the toysrme"s cheap/free mods. if you havnt already, search for those and youll be sure to feel some gains.
