Anyone have any idea where I can get 4.5" ID Stainless tubing? This needs to slip over my existing 4.5" OD stainless pipes I have now!
Thanks

How long of a piece do you need? what are you trying to do? My brother has a company that does custom stainless tubing. He is doing custom mandrel turndowns for me once I get my dimensions to him. I can ask if they have 4.5" and could drop ship it to you.

I need to make some custom exhaust tips. The pipes I have are straight cut(see picture). The exhaust is dry so I cannot simply cut the 4.5"OD pipes and weld a slant tip on them. I want the slant tip to slide over the existing pipes which is why it needs to be a 4.5" ID. Can your Brother get them Polished? Do you know if the tubing is seamless? Here is a CAD file showing the rough dimensions. I would need 4 total! Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Yes, he sent your dimensions to his guy and I should get the quote tomorrow. Sorry I have been out of town since Wednesday for a wedding. I will call my brother tonight. i think I was quoted $80 per custom mandrel turndowns. Yours should not be even close to that.

Thanks man! You said these would be polished? Have you had a chance to see the quality that this company is capable of? I also think I will need to increase the ID from 4.5 to 4.5625 so the pipe will actually slide over my existing. I think keeping it 4.5 ID is going to be too tight
