Re: Aluminum piping for intercooler wher to buy? (JDM DC2 Monkey)
i was hell bent on getting aluminum piping a while ago, then i said screw it and got mild steel.
I think phil at spoolin performance can do aluminum but its gunna cost WAY more.

Awesome prices. I'm making my entire I/C system out of 2.5" 16ga. for less than $90 (cost of aluminum tubing...) Consists of:
5 90deg 4" Centerline radius (CLR)
2 90 deg 6" CLR
1 120 deg 6" CLR
6' straight 2.5 16ga
All elbows are mandrel-bent.

Most people would prefer aluminum due to the weight savings over steel, but you'll pay more for the piping. Welding mild steel is easier too (for me anyway).

We are cheaper than GlobalTech and I would be more than happy to give you some prices if you would like.

Well as of right now I would hold off on contacting us about aluminum. I spoke to our aluminum manufacturer and they are having some issues with being able to get us material at this time. This is extremely frustrating, especially on this side of line and I wish I could be some help to you.
Sorry about the confusion,
Richard

Exhaust manifold yes, but you're not blowing exhaust gases through IC piping. That's what your cast iron and steel manifolds and downpipes are for.

Re: (ExploitedRacing)
Well since this is a sales post, i'll jump in. 
2.25", 2.5", and 3" 45 and 90 deg. bends = $22/ea, polished and you don't have to grind them down to weld them, not coated.
same sizes, 24" straight sections, same polish = $24/ea
