Default Need Mandrel Exhaust Pieces

If anyone knows where I can buy mandrel bent pipe at angles other than 45, 90 and 180 degrees that everyone has, please let me know.
The ONLY place I've found is PYPES EXHAUST and they won't have 60 degree pieces for several weeks.

When I fabricated my Extractors I bought a bunch of bends and donuts. when I required an angle less than the bend you cut it and weld.

I have used vertex industries (http://stores.channeladvisor.com/vertexnow/Tubing/

on ebay. There is also DR gas (www.drgas.com). Just search google for exhaust pipe and then surf surf surf.
