Default intercooler piping

Hey just curious where you guys are getting your bead rolled aluminum bends?

I dont want a shitty kit from china with the nasty coating on them cause there a bitch to weld.

So just wanting some ideas where people are getting theres?


thanks!

look up an ebay seller by the name of SRE
a lot of people buy from him including me. i have his piping for my integra and it fits perfect!

edit:
here is the user you want to use. SRE is the item name but this is his direct contact

i was looking at the vibrant stuff (i should own stock in that place, spend way to much money with them) and the only thing that has stopped me is the fact of no bead rolled ends,

and about the ebay guy, i have a f20b in a eg civic with a skunk2 manifold so those kits would have to be hacked up and welded, and the finish on them and pricing resembles the china pre-fabbed kits so i dont think i wanna go that route

i have never used anything else because it was always readily available and it does weld good as far as ic piping is concerned, ive made a ton of custom setups with it. their couplers are beefy too. and their stainless schedule 10 mandrel stuff is always good. any performance shop should carry it. i have an ebay kit ill try welding some of it together and let u know it works out.
