Default Where is everyone getting their aluminum for charge pipes?

I bought mine off of ebay for my last build and it worked great. The problem is, that company isn't on there any more. All that's on there is the chrome finished stuff and powder coated aluminum. I don't know how well that would weld. I'm looking for some good welding aluminum at a good price. I checked mandrel-bend, they were a bit pricey. Silicone intakes had good priced aluminum, but it says that it's mirror finished. Anyone have any luck with them? The stuff I got before was raw/unfinished 6061 aluminum.

The CX Racing stuff on ebay welds great. I usually just buy the kit with the most bends and go to town on it. The kits for Mustangs/240Zs usually are the biggest. They're cheap too.
