Good source for stainless tubing in different radii?
 

What is the best source for buying stainless steel tubing for building headers that sells different radius bends?

I'm starting into this Ice Engine Works header modeling kit and will need tubing soon. I'll post up pics when it looks like more than a pile of Legos

Burns stainless is who I use. They're pricey but the quality is bar none!

I have used http://www.mandrel-bends.com/catalog/, however I am on a lot tighter budget than most here.

I have found Vibrant has some of the tightest bend radii on tubing. I bought a 1.75" OD with a 1.75" Bend radius.

I use Vibrant tubing primarily for most of my fabrication projects but they don't offer their tubing in different radii. I'm building a set of headers using an Ice Engine Works kit and the blocks are made to match 3",4",6" radius tubing so I need to find a source that sells all.

Very cool stuff if you need to build custom headers and don't mind a little TIG work!

I wish ICE would come out with the 3" kit I contacted them about a while ago!

When I ordered my kit a few months back they said they were considering 3" 4" and 5" kits. I do a lot of 3" intercooler tubing and exhaust as well and would love a 3" kit

I've contacted them about a 3"-4"-5" kits for large turbo exhausts, and they said they were working on them and would possibly be releasing them soonish but tat was prolly a year or so ago.

I have used these guys.

Performance tube in So-Cal and Columbia Mandrel Bending in Oregon are 2 of the most cost effective suppliers of mild steel and 304 stainless steel mandrel bends, if I'm doing something weird.....Burns Stainless but, sit down when getting quote from Burns. If your doing a lot of stainless, you will want to learn about back purging your welds even Solar Flux wont get the job done, only proper back purging. Burns has some good articles on welding stainless, if you using 316 or 321 I hope your a skilled welder, that stuff isnt fun to weld.
