k...now im mad!!!!

[Erbe]

if waitin 10 business days isnt enough for my 180 degree "mandrel bent" u-bend....then i guess when u open the package...clean the tube...set it down and see that the pipe ur using to build ur CAI is not 180 degrees u get a little mad......i have off school all week next week...and now i have to ship this thing back to JCW to get a new one????....can i keep this piece of shit and make a CAI with it or is it sooooo far off that i need a new one?????

[warlock]

it dosnt look that far off so i think it will work, good luck

Take your hands.
Grab it by the ends.
Use some muscle.
Bend that shit 180 degrees.

[CamNub]

Isn't that a oxymoron? 180 degree U bend?

[epborden]

Exactly

U bend.

[Silver Streak]

why would you need 180 degree for a CAI??? at most it shouldn't be more than 90 degrees.

[epborden]

Silver is kind of right, I think those directions need to be re-written. You throw half of that 180 U-Bend away after you cut it...

It ain't too far off. You're gonna chop it up anyways. It should be fine.

I've actually seen some people (me) use PVC pipe and rubber elbows for their CAI.
just added it on to a short ram intake. (INJEN'S)
doesn't look to bad, pretty nice if it's the black PVC piping.

everythings easy to get at home depot and a lot cheaper,
not to hard to install either took me about 10min. I'll post some pictures if asked.
BUT as soon as I get my car back from the shop.

Hopefully everything turns out ok with your CAI...

yea, just cause its not perfectly 180deg who cares... its not going to matter

good luck making it!
