Default Over the radiator intake help needed.

Using the guide here - https://ls1tech.com/forums/12496690-post181.html

I have looked on DRgas.com but I do not see any piping with a 60* bend? Can someone give me a direct link to it? Or any other alternatives too.

Also, where it says "*Trim elbow to appropiate length, then slightly oval the end for the TB."
How do you oval the end of a round pipe??
Thanks.

Thats what I was thinking but I didnt think you guys were doing it that way!? They dont make a coupler that takes car of such a transition? They have to.

id go to the exhaust shop, have them make a 60 degree bend in alumanized tubing. have about 3 feet on each side of the bend and cut were you need too. Easy and cheap. This is what i plan on doing. Do it in 3 or 3.5

You dont have to remove AC if you dont want to. Just lower the cradle that the radiators sit in.

Im losing the A/C anyway, I dont want it. I like the look of yours but I would like a stainless pipe or something similar better. Im going to call some exhaust shops. Thanks.

Its hard to see soxx, but how did you do the round to oval transition? Where did you buy that piece? Thanks.
