<VV> ? what to use to model header pipes?

[Mel Francis]

How about this company, Chuck?

They have a good range of sizes of aluminum flex conduit and you might be 
able to get the exact O.D. you need, then just force the material
into the curve that you require, if it's tighter than the minimum radius 
specified on the chart. They're also located on the east coast.
