Has anyone bought anything from this company? They're prices seem pretty good. Does anyone know of a cheaper place? I'm looking to buy materials to fabricate a turbo manifold and I need about 6' of 2.75" 0.065" wall 6061 aluminum.

I bought from them numerous times, both stainless steel and aluminum. Good deal...probably the best deal out there on the common stuff. The drawback is that their selection is a little limited.

Thanks Chris. I noticed the limited selection too when I was trying to find 321 SS. I've never welded 316 SS but I think I'm going to give it a try. Burns SS is so overpriced.

They are 30mins from me but I called and they do not carry 2.75" 6061 aluminum tube. They only have 2.5" and 3" in stock.

It's all good. I was thinking of going with 2.5" intercooler tubes for better throttle response and low end. 6' of 2.5" should be plenty and it's $36 from that place and the place is 30mins from me...but then i'd have to buy new silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps...might be worth it.
