anyone do this or could recommend me to someone in the valley area? or could I jus take this sort of thing to any exhaust shop. Im running a new intake manifold, so it sits higher than stock, and the elbow that comes off the throttle body connects to the intercooler piping that now doesnt connect with the other piping..heres a pic to get an idea

Try to loosen all your pipe connections and put some muscle in it when you try to reconnect the parts. You might be able to get it to work. You could also try getting a different rubber coupling that is longer.
An exhaust shop is just going to dent the pipes up.

I cant loosen the pipe connections too much more cause they'll probably jus come off under boost. Im going to try putting longer connections on and see if It'll bend a little..The angle is whats not working with me. thanks for the input

they also have rubber couplings that have a joint in them so they can have movement
