a 3" radius bend 2.5" pipe and it would roughly be the same price as the ones shown... regardless of the price..... if it costs that much more to make it. charge a little more on top of the price.... of coarse people will complain but if they arn't stupid and they see the differences/benifiets and reasons why the mark up increased....... then it shouldn't be an issue. All I meant by the posts i've made is that if I personally were to buy "upgraded" piping.... and be spending close to $1000..... I would much rather spend a extra hundred $ and do it right the first time.. than save $100 and have imo band aid fixed (powdercoated mild steel) that may/may not rust. aluminized/powedercoated.. it will eventaully get to the bare metal... and as far as polished aluminum not being maintence free.... please elaborate? I've never had any problems.
