Making my downpipe.....where can i get a prebent 3" to weld off of?

I am wanting to make my own downpipe but I need to find a place that has a 3" prebent main part to weld off of and all I can find is 2.5". Does jcwhitney have them? Or is there another place that has them for cheap? Thanks...

Jc whittney, Summit Racing.com, ebay, ` if u buy from summit make sure what they send u is what u orderd. i haven't had any problems through their mail order service. but every time i have bought stainless Jpipes form them at the store, they were never stainless. and once they sold my whole order to someone else. also summits stainless isn't good quaility stainless. it still rusts. ebay has some good sellers. i got my 90 degree peice off ebay for 17 bucks shipped 304 stainless. just look around.

I only know of Dr Gas and Burns Stainless that distribute that kind of stuff in any appreciable quantity.

Edit: Nevermind on Burns. They don't have 321 stainless in anything larger than 2.125" in mandrel bends.

There you go: 14gage 3" Mandrel Bends

roadraceengineering.com als has piping. If you need some really TIGHT 2.5 or 3 inch piping, they have these donuts you can buy in mild steel or SS. They are really tight mandrel bent piping!

Check out http://www.atpturbo.com. They have a great 3" ss on a 3" radius.They also have a 2.5" to 3" transition piece that leaves you room for the bolts.I just did a downpipe with these and I can't see how it could be easier.

I totally forgot about accordinglydone.com/store. The 3" selection there is good.
