No, but I did look in their catalog and it appears that they only carry
"tubing" of the thin-wall variety.  When the person on this list mentioned
the thick sections of the weld-L's it sounded like a really nice building
block to make a turbocharger manifold from.

The other exhaust places I have catalogs for are:  Burns, Stahl, and
Stainless Specialties.  Burns has cast collectors from time to time, but
not any "bends".

Thanks for the feedback, and if anyone else has any leads, please let me know.
