Where can I source 5" 16ga stainless bends and straight tubing for a reasonable price?

Regards,
Justin

 

5" is a funny size, so cheap is going to be hard to find. Also I wouldn't go with .065" wall on a di. that large, I'd go with .083 or something like that.

do you want it to way 500 lbs? j/k

really why should it be thicker?

 

i just got some 5inch aluminum from globaltech that wasnt too bad. i went with 14 gauge on the 5 inch instead of typical 16 gauge.

it takes a long time to weld around a 5 inch pipe lol

 

yeah thats almost 16" to weld each time there is a cut in the pipe lol

 

Is this for a "77 Datsun 280z w/ 2JZ swap in progress S480 Turbo" by any chance? I'd almost look into dual 3" instead. Granted its 38% bigger than dual 3", dual thinner 3" would be lighter than 5", and 12% bigger than 4". And you can make lots of power with 4".

 

I'm just dumping the exhaust out behind the passenger side front tire. I just need the tubing for a downpipe essential..

I figure some of the diesel guys or semi people should have a cheap source for 5" stainless bends. I'll keep looking.

Heres the best thing I've found so far:
