I think he's referring to the bends that you buy and then weld in between sections of straight pipe.

Anyway I reckon the black rubber bends look better than steel bends, just personally, as well as being more DIY-friendly.

rubebr bends.

yurp, called truck spares i think, just premoulded rubber bends for intakes. cost me around 90 bucks i think for two 45's and a 90. when u cut the hole in the guard, go to clark rubber and get a rubber strip with a groove cut down it, cut it so it covers up the cut, i can get a pic if need be???
