Any place locally where I can get aluminum, or other light metal, mandrel-bent 3" tubing and silcone connecting tube? (Gee, I wonder what he's making?) Thanks.

Aw C'mon! There's got to be some place in the Bay Area that would sell that stuff. Anyone?

Well, I know that you can get silicon connecting tubes and hose clamps from Home Depot. But I'm not really sure if they also carry mandrel bent tubing. If you really want you can go cheapo style and use dryer hose, they carry that for sure, haha. Good luck.

Burns stainless also carries aluminum tubing in mandrel. I think there is a link off this sight. You might want to take a look.

Hi,

For the mandrial bends, check out good exhaust shops, they should have it. Or call Devek (www.devek.net).

For the silicon connectors, I don't know about locally, but you can pay about $50 ea through Turbonetics.com or check the following link for some contact information for a shop in Spokane that sells them.

It's something Joel wrote to me a while ago, right under "intake."
