Anyone have a good source for stainless exhaust tubing?

Looking for 3" pipe and mandrel bends including tight radius stuff for the downpipe. Price seems to varry a lot but someone on the forums always seems to have a good source for parts. I never knew about places like rockauto.com or northerautoparts.com till I ran across them on the forums...

When I fab'd my downpipe, I bought a mandrel U bend on ebay for like $10. The only local place that could get one for me wanted $50 minimum purchase and a business tax id#. If you are using the stock T3 turbo and wastegate, you will need a 2.5" to 3" expansion.

Here are some goodies...

Thanks Nismo - I was going to PM and ask you directly but I though I'd give every one else a chance ;P
