Vibrant 2.5in O.D. Universal Aluminum Tubing (18in long Straight Pipe) - Polished
This Vibrant Performance straight aluminum tubing delivers precise dimensions for custom exhaust and intake fabrication on any vehicle. Constructed from 6061 aluminum with a 0.065in wall thickness, it offers lightweight strength and corrosion resistance for performance builds. The 2.5in outside diameter and 18in length make it ideal for fabricators creating mandrel-bent systems or straight sections.
Key Features
- 6061 Aluminum Construction: Provides durability, heat resistance, and reduced weight compared to steel tubing for better vehicle performance
- Mirror Polished Finish: Reduces prep time for welding and delivers a clean, professional look in visible exhaust components
- Precise Dimensions: 2.5in OD, 2.37in ID, 0.065in wall thickness, and 18in length ensure consistent bends and fits in custom setups
- Material Consistency: Uniform alloy properties prevent cracking or warping during fabrication and high-heat operation
- Dimensional Accuracy: Tight tolerances support seamless integration with flanges, V-bands, and other exhaust hardware
Product Notes
- Cut to required length using a tubing cutter before welding
- Clean polished surface before welding to avoid contamination
- Ships in protective cardboard tube to prevent dents or scratches
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Use TIG welding on clean ends for strongest joints
- Compatible with standard 2.5in V-band clamps and ball socket flanges
