      O.k.
      Tell me what you guys think. I found a company here in the U.S.
      that can extrude custom shapes, I sent them the profile for the
      oval intake ports. The minimum order is very reasonable ^1 the
      cost to have the profile tool made is very reasonable ^1 .

      Does anyone see a problem with this before I lay down my money.
      here is a link of the kind of bend I'm referring to. Dr. Gas
      makes these for NASCAR out of steel, but just to give an idea of
      what is possible. www.drgas.com <http://www.drgas.com>       click on the oval tubing catalog.

I have no problem with it, but your definition of reasonable leaves something to be desired 8*)

Look at the bottom of http://www.ernest.isa-geek.org/Delta/Experiments/Flat_Tube_Analysis.html

You can make the tubes at home where you can fit and fiddle and fit again in case they don't fit the first try.
