Default Where can i get SS bends cheap??

they seem to be so expensive everywhere else.. like $85 for 180degree and $60 for 90degree..

Default The Hooker mild steel bends suck...

I've used them before, the JCWhitney bends are MUCH better.

I don't know if the SS bends are the same way though.

Default 2-3 parts are not all that much to a company that sells in bulk.

You must understand Burns makes headers and turbo manifolds for alot of the largest companies out there and alot of race teams. Why would they budge on their prices and would you? There is a cheaper place in LA but just not sure what the name of it is.
