where to buy tubing for an exhaust
« on: September 12, 2006, 08:15:06 »
i need to buy some tube suitable for making an exhaust, but i cant think of anywhere that would sell some in Derby.

Anyone got any ideas? i only need about 4 feet of straight tube, about 2.5" id

Thanks

If you fancy going stainless, Milner sells all the relevant bends and straights. Probably more expensive than bending your own though.

Is there a Metals Supermarket 'round your way?

Most exhaust centres will carry it or buy it in for you. The Timax number for 2.5" is RST13L. Comes in a 2 metre length.
