Default Where can I buy mandrel bends in SoCali???

Hey guys,

Does anyone know a place near the South Bay/L.A. area that sells mandrel bent pipes on the cheap side? Looking for a few 180s, 45s and some straight pipe in 2.5".

Usually I would checkout ebay but I need the pipes this week and I don't want to pay for rush shipping. I'm taking a few days off work so I want to take advantage and finish the hotside on the turbo.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys

Ya, I saw them but they're at least 2hrs away. I was hoping to find a place close by. A few mufflers shops that I called are either way to expensive or have to order them.

Shipping shouldn't be to bad being that close, and you'll still get them quick even with the lowest cost shipping.

You got a point there. I'll check them out tomorrow morning if I can find a spot by today. I tried calling this place called "Alled Exhaust" but they don't sell to the public.

So did we ever locate the straight mandrel pipe? If not I might have a business idea.
