Vibrant 2in x 2.5in T304 SS Straight Reducer 2in long
Vibrant Performance straight reducers provide a direct transition from 2-inch to 2.5-inch tubing for custom exhaust systems. This 16-gauge T304 stainless steel part suits performance cars trucks and fabrication projects needing smooth diameter changes. Weld it easily for improved exhaust flow and durability in high-heat environments.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Resists corrosion heat and road salt for long-lasting performance in exhaust applications
- 16 Gauge Thickness (0.065in): Balances strength and lightweight design to handle exhaust pressures without flexing
- 2in Inlet x 2.5in Outlet: Concentric straight design ensures even airflow expansion reducing turbulence
- 2in Overall Length: Short profile fits confined spaces in tight exhaust routing
- Butt Weld Ends: Clean precise edges simplify TIG or MIG welding to mandrel-bent tubing
Product Notes
