They're aluminized steel.

A local H-Ter (7808) ordered this kit and got it within a few days!

That's awesome, I can't wait to pick up this kit!

If I run the "exhaust builder" kit, will the 14 gauge piping be too thick for intercooler piping though?

Yes they are mild steel. You can tell by the welded seam on them.
These are NOT aluminized Steel.

****Check his shipping prices.****


It has come to my attention that his shipping will kill the saving of the actual products.

Hey guys, I'm actually trying to liquidate some of this 2.25" gear, PM me if you need this. And I promise my shipping prices are good . All orders will go out the next day and you will get a DHL tracking number.

Aluminized Steel 2.25" Mandrel Bends - $8.75


2.25" Silicone Coupler Stick - $55
This is an uncut 36" long 4 ply silicone tube.

Our shipping prices are pulled directly through the UPS API system, they are based on weight and we add $2.00 for a box. NOBODY is ever overcharged for shipping from us.

NOW - I realise that I can get cheaper rates through DHL and FEDEX -- but my customers need their product NOW, and they get it NOW. No bullshit with UPS - ever. We ship on average of 30+ boxes a day - I have no time to play *check the tracking # and pray*.

Fedex loses every third package I've ever sent with them and their claims department is a joke - they lost a $2700 turbo system of ours 2 months ago -- and dishonored the claim.

I have no experience with DHL to say yay or nay with - but why even bother. UPS gets it there and that's all I care about. It's not worth the risk to save $5.

I ordered some mandrel bends from racing solutions. Excellent prices and low shipping rates. I got my package in about 2-3 days.
