Default Cheaper manifold piping???

Anyone know of an online vendor who carries butt weld fittings for making manifolds that isnt MC-Masters, and who sells online.... right now the cheapest ive seen is 6.11 from MC-master's for the 1.5in 90 degree elbows....

i need to know this cause im buying up enough ---- for 2 equal lenght manifolds... and i need to find this ---- cheaper cause im gonna end up buying like 28 fittings...

thanks...

did you ask julio where he got his ---- at? mcmaster is crazy, almost 18 for a t, but then again I haven't looked anywhere else so I don't know what the market is all about.

Albert, remember to order enough to make my friend his log manifold. It wouldn't be good to leave the materials finding up to him, so can you take care of it for me?
Just make a log and we'll weld the t3 flange on it when we get his car to test fit on. (a/c friendly) :P

I wish I had money to invest in a mandrel pipe bender.
I would make ---- and sell it, and I htink I could make some money doing it.


I am so money hungry!

I have a ---- load of ideas to start my own business, but its so hard to start a small business. unless you have serious equidty or a ---- load of cash to back your loan, or 100% perfect credit you are screwed.

I almost bought into www.inlinefour.com but once again, no ------ money, and no way to get money.

thats stainless right would i be needing that special helium/argon gas mix?... and what spool would i need to weld it with or could i just go ahead and use regular argon/c02 with regular steel wire?

or would that not work

you can weld ss with regular wire no problem but the welds will rust. but i suppose the other ---- you were looking at would rust too

can't you get everything ceramic coated to help prevent rust?

do you need to tig to weld stainless?
