Intake option (Rice Pipe) Read entire thread b4 asking q?
#232
Ok guys,
Help me out here. I have the ability to mandrel bend 3" in Aluminized steel and Stainless steel. I am currently looking for a supplier of .065 wall Aluminum tubing to bend air intake pipes, but I am having a difficult time finding this size. Anyhow, is there a common bend angle and length needed for the Bonneville’*? I would be happy to research building these if someone can give me that info. I recently developed a down pipe for the 97-2003 Bonneville at the request of TommyGloves from the forum here. I am sure he will vouch to the fact that I am very interested in providing parts for the Pontiac crowd.
Any help would be appreciated

Curt, there are actually multiple bend angles. The L27 and L36 3800 non-supercharged engines have an Upper intake manifold that sets the TB at a slightly forward angle. The supercharged engines do not.
In addition, some 92-95 cars have the double washer bottle you see in my 'pretty' pics above.
So technically, there are two angles. If you look carefully at my pics above you can see I had to trim my reducer at an angle to set the pipe originally developed for the L36 onto my L67.

Will,
Thanks for the reply, I have a friend who has 2 NA cars (not sure what years)and I just emailed him to see if I can get one or both of them for a couple of days. I will let you know what I find out.

SO, if someone happens to know the numbers and can post em up for me it would be awesome! Thanks so much!
Oh, and happy easter too!
