Where can I buy Aluminum mandrel bent pipes?
I know where to get the Steel ones, but I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get aluminum ones (U Bends) ?
I was thinking about buying those cheap EBAY Cold air intakes and cutting them up but it would end up costing too much.

Re: (Eyetattoo)
Be careful when going to a muffler shop for bent piping.... They usually only have a tube bender and it causes the inside walls of the pipe to collapse and crinkle which can hinder air flow. Make sure to ask if they have a REAL mandrel bender before you let them do any bending. Your best bet is to order the mandrel bent pipes from JC Whitney or Kteller8 as others have already advised you to do.
I think I'll stick with the Ebay ones

Re: (KTeller8)
older turbo saabs have some nice alu 2" charge pipes. I got about a 110 degree bend with a 12" straight for 5$ with a coupling. oh and they are already bead rolled. prime for little $.
Why do you need aluminum? 18 guage steel bends are pretty damn light and cheap. bling?
