I might take two, one in black with a red stripe and the other one in green.... Coniston Green (STC 1348T or HYE/ LRC.570) to be precise.

My prototype is near done. Just need to find someone to bend the aluminum on a larger scale. No one in my area wants to get on board. Tried a few different companies to bend the tubes for me, but too expensive. I would like to stay with an all aluminum tube with urethane coating. So until I can find someone to bend these things. Know anyone.

3'' OD 6600 Aluminum, .125 wall thickness. It has 5 small bends. Right now what people purchase as snorkels, besides Mantec is recycled plastic. Thermoplastic, which under heat and pressure, looses it's shape. Junk. It's only fitting that an all Aluminum body should have an aluminum snorkel. The Urethane coating is the signiture mark. It can be shaped, colored, textured, whatever someone wants. The urethane also acts as an isulator and shock control from abrasions and bumps. I have a small bender which I used to shape my prototype, but I can not sit there and make accurate tubes all day. Needs an expensive machine. The Aluminum tube was only $30 something dollars. Thats cheap. I can buy the tubes all day long. Just need someone to bend them on a larger scale.

Have you tried an exhaust shop? Those guys custom bend tubing all day long and don't charge that much to do it. Just a thought....don't know that it will work for your application.
