Default What kind of pipe?

I am going to fab a dump tube for my wastegate, I finally got a flange so that I could do this, what type of tubing should I use? Would a muffler shop bend some shit up, or do I need to cut and weld. Any opinions would be great.

Matt

it depends on your wastegate postiioning. most of them need to make a sharp turn downward which would eliminate the bending idea because it would pinch the tube too much. mandrel cuts will probably need to be used

I had one of mine made at Rainbow muffler on eastbay and belcher. I'm sure a muffler shop can help you.
