Mine are mild steel, made by Tim Holt. He'd only just started building them when I bought mine, but planned to try stainless.

I bought a couple of pre-formed mild steel bends, (about 5 to 10 quid each. Plenty of suppliers on Ebay etc). Shortened the manifold pipe & welded the bend on.
OJZ Engineering supplied the stainless bends for my truck project.

Could be wrong but I think OJZ only do stainless -not that you couldn't weld stainless to mild steel, they'd just be more expensive to buy.
I used Custom Chrome, "Home of the Cherry Bomb", for my mild steel bends.
