Default Looking for thoughts and some questions answered on exhuast building supplies

Hello Everyone,

I am doing so research on parts/suppliers, now have a couple questions.

1- Has anyone dealt with www.anfittingsdirect.com, I ran across them on a Google search. I seen on there site they have 3" stainless pipe for exhaust systems 304 grade, now here is my main question what is the wall thickness of the pipe that guys on here use when building a 3" stainless system and a brief reason why, as this is all new to me. I want to get it right first time so hope none of this comes across stuip but trying to educate my self here lol
This website says in reading there description the pipe is. 050 thick but there chart with all the dimensions show it as. 0625 wall thickness. I have a email out to them to varify this dimension. They seem to have pretty good prices compared to Vibrant Performance which I looked up also,so was not sure if I am missing something. One more question can anyone give me a rough guess on materials needed to build a basic exhaust system for a 69 camaro with notched trunk floor,tank corners, DSE quadra link? Just trying to get basic idea of how many and what bends will be needed to get the final product, was not sure if anyone what had a basic starting as I know its all custom and cut and fit as you go. If anyone cares to share the best place to buys this stuff that would be great also!!

Now 2nd question on wire harness, has anyone used PSI and any thoughts? I am also looking at speartech?

Again thanks in advance, I don't post much here but read alot so figured I could get some good input on this with all you.

The website your getting you stainless from seems kinda fishy. Just order the good stuff from a known supplier of quality stuff. It is amazing some of the stuff I have seen that people say is stainless, but I kinda wonder. We buy all out stainless parts from SPD. There are the leader in the industry.

Never heard of the wiring company you asked about. Speartech does a nice harness.

Rodger,

Thanks for the info, I have not bought any stainless from this place yet because it did sound fishy as you say. The company you mentioned SPD does that stand for anything if I google them??

Mandrelbends.com aka columbia river bending has some great material and great prices. SPD and Burns is top notch and top money.

Cone engineering/megs exhaust does a nice formed merge collector kit.
