Weld-L's (fwd)

[John Alesse]

I got all my mild bends from believe it or not J.C. Whitney. They have 1.5"
U and J bends and the wall thickness is very impressive ~.100

Do you have any info that might help my buddy?  He's custom fabbing a twin
turbo LT1 for a Jaguar...  Eeeiish!  ;)

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.
