I don't think it would be that critical to match up pipe thickness. But more than likely 16 ga. Speedway has a u bend with a 90 for $15. 16 ga.

Autozone has 90 degree 2" bends for 7.99. I used some recently to recreate a fuel tank filler tube. This is from Oreilly, but the one I got looked like it. It didn't have the crushed tube look that these 90 degree bends had in the past.

Woolf most likely will but, beware ..their shipping charges are out of this world .

I bought an 13 dollar item , shipping was $40.00 , ground UPS

Did not ask that question so I'm dumb

great info guys ! thanks !
dad, you bring up a good point about shipping charges. most of the time, i calculate that into the equation. sometimes, an item can be cheaper by being more expensive with less shipping, than the same item costing less, but charging more to ship.
that speedway U + 90 might be the way to go. i need to repair 6 pipes just off the flange at where they start to turn. the speedway pipe basically having three 90's, i can use both sides of the bend, since i only require approximately a 1 3/4" long section to splice into each pipe to be repaired.
i believe these pipes were made for angle plug heads [which i have], and the PO used [or tried to] them on straight plug heads, hence the mashed tubes.
thanks again for all the replies ! i will be able to repair these, then send them out to get coated.

I am local so I never asked them any shipping charges. I did not know it was so high.

I usually buy them from Summit. I get them in raw finish so you aren't dealing with the aluminized coating. Hooker or Dynatech are usually the most affordable brands.

Edit: I buy a J bend and cut out the angle I want...

raw is the material of choice, since they will be coated when done.
welding the aluminized material is a pain.

If only looking for mild steel to then coat later once done. Schoenfeld have very inexpensive mandrel bends. A lot of dirt track roundy round guys use their tubing. I did my entire 3-1/2" with X Pipe dual exhaust with their bends & some straight pipe to the mufflers & then reduced it down to 3" up over the axle back thru the stock tips for less then $200.00 on my car.

You need to know the bend radius as well. To match the existing tubes.
