I've ordered thin wall aluminium bends from Global Technology & Engineering previously. They treated me very, very well, being a foreigner placing a small order; I was pleasantly surprised. Now I'd like to return the favor by giving them a mention.

As everyone said the cxracing piping welds awesome, pay a bunch more per bend if you want. But they have great quality, especially the 2mm thick. Its not a risk at all, ive never got a coated pipe from them once. It'll weld awesome and is clean strait out the box.

I second that on Global-tech as well, i've ordered some 4'' 11 gauge bends from there, great price, fast shipping, and they have like. Everything.

thats a nice kit, but you will be sanding/grinding the black off in order to weld it. i have bought 3 of the universal 2.5" kits, bare, from CXRacing and love them. quality stuff, well packaged, and get customer service. i was skeptical at first, especially with their couplers, but they are actually nice quality

Cx racing is ok. have some left in my shop.

I really like the extruded ones from driftmotion. same finish and wall thickness but constant thickness throughout the radius of the elbows.

The globaltech stuff welds the best out of all of the choices listed above. Good quality stuff.
