ive been down to their shop very helpful. depends on what u want of course... if u want aluminized steel then jcwhitney is your best bet.

There is also a place down here in so cal, Huntington Beach that sells aluminum 6061 for cheap... got some 2.25" pipes for my charge pipes there for like 40 bucks...

Check out their "box of bends". We bought the 18 guage 2 1/8" "box of bends" for $120. We didn't realize just how much we'd get. It was MORE than enough to completely plumb 3 turbo Hondas, all with front mount IC's. Pipe was good quality, and it was nice to have such a variety of bends to work with. They're not just all 90 degrees or whatever. Best deal on mandrel bent tubing I've ever seen. Waaaay better than Summit or anyone else that sells bends individually.

They were made of aluminized steel.

To the original poster: You're looking for 3" pipe right? Why 3" for charge pipes??? That's waaaayyyy too large.

Edit: Sorry, I just noticed you said "downpipe"...
