Vibrant 2.75in O.D. Universal Aluminum Tubing (18in long Straight Pipe) - Polished
Vibrant Performance straight aluminum tubing measures 2.75 inches OD by 18 inches long, ideal for custom fabrication in exhaust, intake, and turbo plumbing on performance vehicles. Crafted from 6061 aluminum with a mirror polished finish, it delivers consistent material properties and tight tolerances for reliable welds and professional builds. Fabricators rely on its accuracy to streamline projects across cars, trucks, and imports.
Key Features
- 6061 Aluminum Build: Provides strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance for durable performance parts under high heat and pressure.
- Mirror Polished Finish: Clean surface minimizes prep work and oxidation, enabling direct welding with excellent fusion.
- Precise 2.75in OD: Matches standard exhaust mandrel bends and clamps for seamless custom assemblies.
- 0.065in Wall Thickness: Balances rigidity and reduced mass to maintain flow without excess weight.
- 18in Straight Length: Fits straight sections perfectly, easy to cut or couple for complex routing.
Product Notes
- TIG welding recommended to preserve strength and finish on aluminum material.
- Inspect for burrs before use and store in dry area to maintain polish.
- Arrives in protective sleeve to prevent dings during transit.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Use argon shielding gas and clean filler rod matched to 6061 alloy for strong joints.
- Compatible with Vibrant bends, V-bands, and silicone couplers in 2.75in systems.
