Default Vortech 1 Piece Charge Pipe

I did a lot of searching, asking around, pm'ing for a vortech 1 piece pipe. I know Strafe used to make one, but they no longer do. Does anyone know a vendor that can produce one like it?

All the local shops near me don't make intake pipes and the only one with a mandrel bender wants to a) Charge $$ up the yinyang, and b) Won't offer me any guarantees on fitment so if it doesn't fit, I'll have to pay for another to be made over and over til it does fit nor have they ever made an intake pipe for anyone.

tldr; Any vendors or shops able to produce a custom 1 piece vortech charge pipe? or if anyone has a used one for sale Pm me

I am sending my car to Dynosty here in a cpl weeks for a built motor install and I am having them make one for me at that time. May want to give them a call and see if they can make another one at that time since they will have my car there as a template... Although I have G... Not sure if the measurements are the same or not to the Z but since it's the same engine I think the measurements from the bracket back should be very close if not exactly the same...

Took me 6 months to find one. I should have just tried to bend on at work since we have a table bender capable of bending 4" pipe. GL

couldn't you just pick up a used aftermarket intake for fairly cheap...such as injen or something and put that to use? that's what i'm planning on using for my vortech build.

*although, i'm only talking about making single pipe where the maf outlet and maf housing are. This might not be what you are looking for.

That's what I'm trying to do, however there's a certain bend that follows the charge pipe down to the intercooler, the Injen doesn't have that bend so it'd have to be welded on anyway.

When I made my custom v-mount vortech kit years ago I used a K&N intake pipe and welded to it. Worked great and looked great with the welded MAF bung.

You could use an angled coupler to mate that pipe to the one behind the blower. You'd need one that's somewhere between 45 and 60 degrees probably.
