Where can I buy copper pipe?

Have tried everywhere in the Girne area-to no avail,including all the recognized plumbing factors (I think!)_ what I need it for is to fabricate an exhaust system for a generator I have installed in my garage,so that I can get the fumes outside.
Any sort of flexible metal pipe would do the trick I suppose but so far drawn a blank.

I tried to do the same for my boat but ended up having a piece of ss pipe fitted that was made for the job.
I tried to find flexi ss pipe in the North and the South, no chance.
I would have a pipe made from any sort of materiel, remember when the exhaust cools it will send water back to the baffle which in time will rot.
These are the problems I have had on the boat, I am using a Chinese 3.5 kva which if looked after works well, drain the condensation from the exhaust when you switch off the genni.

The reason you cannot find any is cos it is so expensive it gets pinched. So suggest you have around a building site when nobody around and........!

On the Karaoğlanoğlu industrial estate (that's the area roughly behind Jashan's) there is a metal worker who has various diameters of galvanised steel pipe.
I can'rt now quite remember which road he's on, but just drive round, it's not a big area
If you do a drawing with measurements and take it along to him, I'm sure that he'll fabricate it for you.
He lives Lapta / Karsiyaka way, so if it's on his way home, he might pop in to suss it out...

Thank you all-I may take a trip over to the Kajagoogoo industrial park as I think It is worth exploring.
Weird that copper is so unobtainable here, yet plentiful in the UK-Thanks to the Illegal Eastern European immigrants that strip it off church roofs and war monuments honouring our dead-thank fully none of that here!
