Default Where do exhaust builders buy tubing, flanges, etc?

Looking to practice a bit and I was wondering where I could buy flanges, collectors and tubing.

I did a few searches and only came up with one place, SPDexhaust.com. Wondering if there are others.

Thanks!

SPD and Burns Stainless is where I buy most of my tubing. Flanges I usually have water jetted from a local place using templates I make. I have bought flanges from SPD, but only the more common ones.

Are you looking for car ( Buick ) flanges to build headers or flanges to make pipes to fit manifolds? This may help get you started.

as far as tubing and manifold flanges stop by a local muffler shop.

Most auto parts stores like AutoZone, O'Reillys, NAPA and such have a bin full of exhaust tubing bends, flanges, perforated muffler tubing etc.
