Source for 2.75" aluminum tube?

[gran racing]

I purchased an AEM intake for another Honda model which other 2nd gen Prelude owners said would fit, but of course it doesn't. In order to make if work, I need to obtain ~ 1 - 2 ft of 2.75" aluminum tubing. I've done many searches but have yet to find this size tube available anywhere. I even called AEM to see if they'd sell me some, but they wouldn't and suggested using exhaust pipe. I went to a local exhaust shop and while the pipe is 2.75" in diameter, it is very heavy and thick. Any ideas?

You might have to call them as their website's not really useful anymore with material prices changing daily.

Without a doubt, the best searchable website I have found in that industry.

I used www.onlinemetals.com when I needed aluminum tubing.

Excellent - this was a huge help!

(Several of the places didn't have the 2.75" (had 2.5" and 3" among other sizes).)

This is an online store i have used a lot. The pricing is generally very good and the quality so far has been as good as any. http://vertexnow.com/Welcome-Verocious-Motorsports .

Only 2.5 and 3.0 here, but a good source.

I bought a couple intake kits off Ebay for a 90-93 Acura Integra and they had 2.75 tubing and were fairly long. $9.95 plus freight. Fit my Renault nicely!
