Stupid Exhaust Tube Question

[FrizzleFried]

I need about a foot of 1" tube... ideally exhaust "thickness" vs 1" steel pipe thickness...

Where is a good place to source such a thing? Will the local Home Depot have something like that? Would I be better off going to an auto parts store (doubtful)?

Maybe the local True Value hardware store??

Possibly an actual muffler and exhaust repair shop ???...Alot of them also do custom fabrication work.

...all local exhaust shops carry 1.5" as their smallest size.



I need 1" diameter... or as close to it as I can get... and 1.5" is a little too large.

I get all my 1" or 25mm from Metal Mart. A 300mm chunk shouldn't be that much online.

Go to home depot or wherever & get some edm steel conduit, its plenty thick enough for exhaust pipe. I use it all the time. They make it in all different sizes to.

It's way cheaper than the seamless I buy.

Yeah I bought a 2-20ft sticks of polished 1" stainless steel seamless tubing the other day & about had a heart attack when I got the bill.

I think I paid 30 for 2 five footers the last time I bought some. I don't buy polished because I'm going to weld it up anyway.
