Default Mandrel Bent or Therma Flex

Hello Peeps.

Im just weighing up my options for a new intake pipe. I am currently using the stock ford one that was attached to the air box and just spun it around with a pod on the end. But after about 6 months the pipe has lost its integrity and will soon melt.

Now I have three options

a) Buy a universal pipe from rocket ind or supercheap and modify it to suit if necessary
b) Get a custom one done from local exhaust shop (2 1/4inch mandrel)
c) Use thermaflex (pvc/neoprene/silicon) with 1 90 degree bend.

I think all three options would cost about the same. But with the universal kits some of em come with a pod cover of some sorts, which kinda is making me lean towards it.

Any feedback would be great.

Cheers

Damo
