if the 180 degree bend is the only way.. whats the downfall to it? not enough room? low clearance?

yeah thats the only way i can see, ill try it and post how t works, im just a little worried about that bend causing a high pressure spot and popping one of the connectors off the piping cuz it will have to be a sharp 180 degree bend

It's a VERY common setup, don't worry about it too much, but get piped with rolled beads for the 180 at least.

aluminum is the standard piping used for aftermarket IC's. you could opt for using the same "soft" piping that comes stock with your car. probably cheaper and just as reliable while maintaining that "stock" appearance

Well i will probly use alluminum but i will buy the pipe and have it cut and bent myself so it will be cheaper, and as far as the ic goes, the last thing i want is stock lol i want everyone to see the big peice of metal shining through my front bumper lol
