I got mine from rx7.com. The price wasn't bad, and it got here pretty quick. atpturbo.com also sells some.

burns stainless but they are pricey...

Ebay is good for the cheap stuff

Columbia River Mandrel Bending has some AL tubing for intercooler type stuff as well. Their stuff is quality and they ship quickly.

I got a whole bunch of different pieces off an ebay seller. It was advertised as thicker then the "other" ebay sellers. It's good IMO

Ebay stuff is a bit beat up looking, not perfect but it does the job especially when you can get a whole kit with wide band clamps and couplers for the price of what 2 u-bends would cost for American metal.

That is really good to know actually. I was looking for something else the other day and stumbled upon that and it looked priced really well. Even thier couplers looked well priced. I was wondering how thick it is though? Is it "ebay" thickness or a little stouter? In a few months I am going to hack up my intercooler and turn in into a vmount and was maybe going to order some of thier piping to use.

its a bit stouter a buddy of mine got a kit for his mr2 and the couplers were 5-ply felt really nice and the clamps were some nice t-bolt clamps rather nice quality. honestly even the intercooler looked nice but im going to go check it out again and take some detailed pics to compare it to a precision(garrett) i have laying around. in reference to cx racing piping and intercooler.
