I dont need bends, Ill be doing that my self, just want a solid piece that long to eliminate welds and couplers to leak, doing a rear mount system so the piping al the way back up front to the intercooler will only have 4 couplers total per side on the Cold Side

UPS will kill ya on 8' sticks. Try your local muffler shops, that way you avoid the brown truck charges.

I used aluminized mild steel on my rear mount without issue...was a little heavy maybe 25lbs but it's only one pipe figure can't hurt.
