Help, from the guys in edmonton and calgary

Hey guys, I am in need of a foot or less of 3" tubing, 1/8 inch thick (sched 10?) I cant find any here in Fort Mac. If any of you would happen to know where I could get some I would be in debt to you

OD. 1/8 thick, but I would live with 3" ID, not enough for me to worry about

Sorry should have asked in my first reply, does it matter if it is seamless or not?

I have some various pipe and tube kicking around.

I dont think that would matter, all I am doing is adjusting the cold pipe from the turbo to the intake

A good muffler shop will cut you a piece of exhaust pipe that's thin wall and they can expand it to your exact needs.

Kev, just use exhaust tubing? The 3in sch 10 pipe is rated at way more pressure and is way over kill. Exhaust tubing for me has held up to 100psi with no issues. I would worry more about the hose fittings. I have a 8ft section here in my garage, plus a length of 4in and 5in. Phone you local napa, its should be there in no time.
