Default where to buy Alum. charge piping for welding

like the title says where can i buy charge piping to weld up my charge pipes for my car? I was looking at ebay but im afraid the pipes they sell on ebay have a coating on them to make them look chrome which will obviously make it hard to weld.

does that "super builder kit" look like enough piping to make intercooler pipes for a typical honda turbo setup? This will all be Tig welded.

I went with cx racing. They have polished 6061 tube and it comes bead rolled for a fair price.

Yeah I have good luck with the CX racing stuff. The CX racing kits are as CDM as it gets but yeah it welds fine, is bead rolled, and comes with couples and clamps and is super cheap.

looks like their 2.5 inch kit is 130 plus shipping.... quite a bit more than the columbia river kit, but it comes with a couple more pipes and looks nicer :-\ lol

That kit says aluminized...which is not the same as aluminum. One is steel one is aluminum.

cx racing is where its at, plenty thick so u dont have to worry about burning the edge away when welding and u get a bunch of t-bolt clamps and silicone couplers when u buy the intercooler kits.
