Thanks Ed!

No I'm not going telescoping. Just need to make a 85 degree bend from my intake base over my injectors then I'm going glass for the rest of the manifold. I have a Mustang throttle body that will be on the cool side of the engine.

Hi Bob,

Assuming you want the adjustable length intake feature.  You want drawn not extruded (most common) aluminum tubing.  Drawn is more dimensionally accurate.  Now if you are not using the adjustable feature then extruded 6061 is fine.

Here is my source for tubing designed to slide inside one another. 6063-T832 Drawn Aluminum Tubing (Round), they also have the 6061 -T6 tubing as well.

They take small orders with no hassle.

Here is another potential source, however they looked like the would want substantial order sizes.  But,  I never tried them and so could be wrong about that.
