I make my own front pipes for 100's because the cheapo repos are so
terrible.
I use mild steel for the pipes, which I actually had mandrel bent in New
Zealand because no one in Canada seemed to be able to bend them to the
correct radius but, and pretty soon I'll get to the point of this email, I
weld the stainless flex to the mild steel with my TIG welder.
I use mild steel for the pipes because I have yet to see a front pipe that
has rusted through unless the car is driven extensively on salted roads.
I'm sure anyone who does TIG welding could do the welding for you in mild
steel but if you are prepared to pay handsomely FAB Stainless Welding could
do them in stainless 905 669 7400 ask for Frank.
BTW the stainless steel flex seems to leak slightly when first installed
but that stops after a little use, the gaps probably fill with carbon.
