What type of metal do you need? Any store that sells plumbing supplies will have copper piping with various bends. As far as steel.. think you can get that too just not as clean in appearance and usually screw threaded elbows. I do recall even seeing some metal piping bent used for electrical wiring in places like warehouses. Maybe that can work for what you need.
Home depot or plumbing supply store would be my first stop. If they carry what you need I am sure they can give you the bends you require also.
What is it you need it for? Might help with some surggestions on what you can use.

pipe and tube are two differant things ,you might be able to find either at a steel supplier. what do you need? a straight pipe or tube like you said in the title or els like you said in the body of the message? you want sockets, NPT, or butt joint?

sorry for the confusion
what i need is metal tube.. metal like exhaust tube is made from.. i dont need any threads or that thick plumbers tube... and i dont want copper because i need this welded to a piece of steel plate.
im making my own EGR cross over tube, and what im working on is the tube that connects to the header, as well as an EGR adapter which i made a prototype from copper tube.. but i want to make it strong and durable to heat.
this is what i made, keep the laughter to a minimum... it works, and clears the distributer, fire wall, fuel rails, and wiper motor.

look at www.mcmaster.com i think you'd want some straight tube in whatever thickness you like and some weld els to match, if they make then that small. you might have to go to a socket weld or bend the tube. if you bend it there's a good chance it'll want to crush, fill it with shot, or sand and tape the ends then try to bend it.
