easiest thing to do is mount the intercooler and turbo w/manifold then take it to an exhaust shop and have them bend the piping. Any competent one should be able to do it for you and they will do it cheap.

pipe is pipe, it's all the same. The only thing I would have done after getting it bent is to get it polished, anodized or powdercoated to pretty them up a little bit. And you'll want to ask for stainless steel so it doesn't rust on you.

all you gotta do is take some polish and a buffer to it and it will shine.
