thank you very much. will a conduit (sp) pipe bender bend it? or can it be done by hand? Can I take it off the truck when I take the intake off? then bend it and put it back on? im just going to order the darn thing, and if I have any questions Ill ask then!
thanks for all your help, Shane

I say save your money, i havent tried to bend that kind of pipe, but it wouldnt surpise me if you could do it for the most part by hand. You really need to gain only an inch or so, and its a decently long pipe so you can get quite a bit of leverage. Just stick it in a vise on the header end and give it a good tugging to gain your inch and tug the other side to straighten it out of the angle. Easiest 40 bucks youll ever save.

Edit: oh i originally read it as your just gonna order the pipe, yeah dont worry, youll pull it off easy with just the spacer.

Shane,

Yes the pipe unbolts, real easy. Bending can be done in a vice or on the floor. I would rate it 2 out of 10 for difficulty.
