Default Where can i find a 1 inch pipe for my BOV?

I just recently bought a Blitz BOV from Ebay and it came with a flange similar to the picture.





The problem is that if i weld this flange to my chargepipe. I can not screw the BOV to the flange because the chargepipe will be in the way and i can not screw it on. So I need to get an extension pipe so the screw doesnt touch the chargepipe. I need a pipe that is 1 inch in diameter. So it will look something like this.


So where can i find a pipe this size? Is it steel or aluminum? I'm not even sure myself.

You can buy 1" pipe at a 1" pipe store. - Matt

---- that, look in your phone book for a metal yard. they'll either charge you a dollar for a little bitch piece like that, or they'll give it to you. get some mild steel. they'll want money for aluminized or stainless. you'll be fine, no worries.

throw a bit of high temp paint on it if you do use the mild (to prevent rust)
