Hello all, can anyone recommend a source for quality 2.5 inch aluminum mandrel bends and straight piping? It's very tricky buying things online especially ebay and you never know what you are getting. I don't really care where it comes from, ebay, a vendor, etc Just some quality IE "weldable" piping that isnt made of pot metal.
Thanks!
Thanks!

siliconeintakes or ebay will be cheapest
and you know exactly what you're getting - it describes, lists, and pictures all included items for you.
some tubing is better than other, usually the stuff that's better they say "thicker, etc" and the stuff that's paper thin they usually don't specify anything about thickness. I'd get the thicker stuff, welding the thin alum is really frustrating

I bought all my tubing from Air to Water Intercooler. Welds like a dream, very well priced, fast shipping.

haha shoulda noticed that.
I gotta say though: they are really easy to deal with. last time I emailed a question, it was replied to in like 2 hours. And last time I had to return something, it was probably one of the easiest/hassle free returns I've ever done. The guy just said " ship it back, you'll get credited back". Done
