Message he sourced them out for reasons that he will say later ( for ex. the fear of vacuum leaks or foreign material being loose inside the welds and getting to the turbo )

For consistency on a high volume item, Ash sourced the work out as a machine will have more accuracy than a human.

Mandrel bending is not cheap but not 100% expensive either. Take that into consideration of shipping to him and then to the customer / insurance / the cost of the labor / the cost of the materials / powder coating / etc ... it adds up easily and quickly ... doing this in house and not using the same materials is cheaper .. however Ash sourced this out so that he can turn them around faster for customers ... he just needs to stay on top of the manufacturer or switch to a company that understands meeting dead lines better.

You get what you pay for ....
