does anyone know where to find aluminum piping for intercooler piping besides burns stainless.they seem to be way to high.$80 for a 2.75" u-bend?there's no way in hell i'm going to pay that.i have done searches several times and never found anything.please help!

 

alum bends and piping is very expensive!!

 

yeah nothing about aluminum is cheap, unless your welding it yourself thats gonna be expensive too..

 

Burns is probably thre best price you will find for alum. If anyone knows of better please tell because I couldn't find any before I just gave up on aluminum.

 

dunno but i just ordered my piping from summit racing pretty cheap.. if you can wait till 2/1/03 they will have the box of mandrel bends in stock too ship and thats hella dope deals

 

get a 3" pvc pipe and wrap alum foil around it a bunch. that would work.

lol

 

how about that's all i can find.i know it's not cheap,but i would be willing to bet that it can be found cheaper.just trying to save a little.

check here for pricing on alum and ss
I just bought today a 3.5", 90 degree mandril bent, regular old steel piping from a local muffler shop and it cost $32. The good news is it is big enough to be my whole downpipe.

 

wow..i like that titanium stuff

 

i said someone besides burns.

 

sorry to bring this up again

so when we use them for IC pipings, should we us alum or stainless steel or mild steel??

thanks

 

Hey turbotypeR,
This site looks nearly identical to Burns although the pricing is slightly different. I'm having a tough time finding anything, too.

This place seems to have 16 gauge 6061 Aluminum tubing (straight and 90s - don't see any U-bends here) in 2, 2.5, and 3" diameters, but not in 2.75". I don't see any prices listed either, but you could call or email them. Good luck!

mmmmmm ALUMINUM I/C piping: LIGHT WEIGHT



I got my 2.5" aluminum U-bends from burns stainless for $42.11 ea. 3 times more expensive than steel, but easily that much lighter too!!!

BTW, why 2.75" that **** is HUGE!

 

indeed. The key is not to crinkle the aluminum foil! Give it that authentic look!
