What is 304 stainless steel commonly used for in exhaust systems?

304 stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components due to its excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. It holds up well against road salt, moisture, and exhaust gases, helping to extend the life of the system.

What does the 16-gauge thickness mean for this tube?

A 16-gauge thickness indicates a moderate level of durability for exhaust tubing. It's strong enough to withstand typical exhaust system stresses and vibrations without being overly heavy, making it a practical choice for fabrication.

Can this tube be welded and bent for custom exhaust fabrication?

Yes, 304 stainless steel is generally considered weldable and bendable. Its properties make it a common material for custom exhaust builders who need to shape tubing to fit specific vehicle layouts.

About this part

Product Details

If you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, you need reliable tubing that can handle the heat and vibration. This 3.5-inch diameter, 48-inch long tube from Stainless Bros is made from 16-gauge 304 stainless steel, a popular choice for exhaust work because it resists corrosion and holds up well over time.

The 304 stainless steel offers a good balance of strength and workability, making it suitable for bending and welding into the custom shapes needed for exhaust routing. Its 16-gauge thickness provides a solid foundation for most exhaust applications without adding excessive weight. This length is often used for custom muffler sections, exhaust tips, or connecting pipes in a custom build.
