I just ordered some 2.5" tube with ~ 3.5" radius, you can get very tight stuff from chassis shop in michigan. Do a google search for the chassis shop in mi.

i gave up on buying bends... make them myself by cutting wedges of pipe at whatever angle i want and welding them together. All you need is a chop saw. You can make as tight or as wide of a bend you want.

My friend bought a whole kit for his mustang from them 6 months ago, and he still hasnt received the turbo yet he got everything else but no turbo. When he called monday they said they dont have enough money to pay for his turbo right now so he'll have to wait until they sell a couple more kits. So i wouldnt be ordering anything from them.

2 sides to every story, I hate the PTK bashing from this site. How many never got parts from them like other paying vendors on the site??? Makes me wonder about buying from the "paying" vendors...

Um okay whatever.

We have had like 10 companies stiff us on advertising, and almost all of them are out of business.
