Default source for aluminum intake pipe

Hello gents,
Last year, i made a plastic cold air intake pipe in my ls swapped monte carlo. I would like to build a new intake pipe out of aluminum. I plan on tig welding all of the pieces together. Does anyone know of a good source for 4" .063 wall aluminum pipe (straight sections plus elbows)?

When I built all of the aluminum charge piping for my procharger I bought all of the piping from frozen boost. Not sure what the wall thickness is of their piping but it tig welded just fine and looked good when it was all said and done. They should have everything you would need to get the job done.

Thanks, I looked around, and they have just what I need. It's time to put this old girl to work

I got my stuff from www.siliconeintakes.com for a pretty good price, it's all quality polished already and no tax. Good luck, let's see the welds when you're done too!
