you could always use this...2" schedule 10 piping with its 2.15 ID which is pretty darn close to the 2.125 ID of 2.25 OD 16 gauge tubing and it is quite cheap! It is 304 stainless or 316 stainless and will be thick walls for good heat retention. The longer radius 90s are only like $8

So would 2.25 be to small for a 370 and bws476r and a 408 with x27588 in future.

Believe it or not, if I ever build a x275 combo it will have either a 2" or 2 1/8" crossover on it. Mid frame 88mm

Probably a 4" stroke and a 4" bore or in that neighborhood.

This thread makes me feel better about using 2" into a single 2.5" for my crossover.
