((Also how would you guys go about building a J-pipe? Where would you guys find the bends? Is there some type of place that would have bends like that locally?[/quote] ))
Snowman, I live in Nashville just down the road. I am a value seeker and I found the best and quickest place to find good mandrel bends is summit racing. I have pretty much ordered everything in my build from them. They ship from Atlanta, really quick. I dont know if you are looking for stainless, but summit carries low priced coated steel. I think I bought a 180deg bend with one long leg to do the J-pipe. Mine is in 2". It took alot of measuring, cutting, marking, measuring, cutting, marking to line up, welding. It took a long time, but worth it. I grinded the welds down, scuffed it, and shot it with Rustoleum BBQ paint. It has held up great so far.
