Guys. Im after a Mandrel intake for the EF, with the bend all the way to the intake (not using the EL peice). Does anyone know who in Brisbane will do these? - a good exhaust shop? The one I normally use doesnt do them.

All you or they need is a box of pre-bent mandrel bent pieces of pipe, then they add straight bits where needed and weld it all up. Any good exhaust place should be able to do this.

Your looking at a bit of money for someone to create a good design, plus for the stainless pipe Back to top Nigel Fordmods - Getting Side Ways Posts: 1057 Joined: 05 Nov 2004 Location: Sydney NSW, Australia View User Gallery (7) Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 2:23 pm    Post subject: I was looking at potentially using normal exhaust pipe - and painting. Not after the under bonnet look.

For $150 inc. postage you cant really go wrong when you would be looking at at LEAST $200 for an exhaust shop to do one, probably around the $250 mark is what they'd charge you.

Will also get a tidy up and paint.

Ive notices the restriction of the air filter though - I needed to drive around for 2 days without anything from the throttle body - Mmmm nice.
