Summit for the hot side and Ebay for the cold side. you can ussually get a cold side for about $75 that will work. look for cold side kits that have T-bolts instead of hose clamps they are ussually a little better quality.

depends on what you need...

I bought the stainless for my headers from one place,
the parts for my downpipe (stainless) and charge pipe (aluminum) from a different place since I needed tight radius bends....

remember to use stainless or aluminium for the cold piping. Mild steel can rust and that's bad news for your motor.

aluminum is much better. Its lighter and its a better heat transfer medium.
