Default HELP! Houston Area: Where can I find/purchase 4" aluminum pipe/tubing w/a 90º bend?

4" aluminum pipe/tubing
90º bend
Houston area

It doesn't have to be polished as I can do this at home. Here's a pic of what I need, however, the pipe in the pic is 3.5", I need 4".



The pipe will have to be trimmed to fit, so I don't need it a particular length.

Try a muffler shop. They might have some 90° 4" bends for diesel trucks.

I wouldn't think a muffler shop would carry aluminum, but I could be wrong. Thanks for the tip, I'll call around.

I'm going to guess 4" OD and that should be plenty long enough. When you say 36" do you mean from one end to the other measuring with a square or along the pipe with the radius?

The piece I just bought was 3mm thick which is .118" thick.

I bought EXACTLY what you are looking for from LMR. They had a couple dozen of them sitting on their shelf.
