Hard pipe kits / metal boost pipes - who makes them?????????
POST EDIT - these are mine currently:
As title, doing a bit of an overhaul on my Evo engine bay, and need some boost pipes making. Not a fan of lobster back style cut and weld, cut and weld, cut and weld etc.
Anyone know who can make solid metal boost pipes with as few joins as poss? Would be good to be made of one length, mandarel bent to shape.
Who does em?

You can't get "bend on bend" madrell bent pipes that would be tight enough.
You'd have to have joins. All you do though is polish the welds then you can hardly see them.

si, proalloy made mine. although i still need silicon hose to join it to the turbo/cooler etc
you can get some clamps welded on like rally cars use, but if there is movement in the enigne ie the mounts, they wont work

Thank you for all the replies everyone 
I have these hard pipes currently, which work, but aren't best made / shaped, and look pants
AMS are too expensive by a long way. I have a fair bit of AMS kit on my car so know the costs
Pro Alloy are an option to consider, thanks Dan
Rich - ta for the link to GTF, they look like they could deal with this nicely too
RickyLee53 - Do you fancy making some up for me?

That looks ace Dan, very tidy doing it that way. I've got a few water pipes that could do with the same downsized treatment
Got to see what the funds are like after the engine work is sorted....
