What is SS304 stainless steel good for in an exhaust system?

SS304 stainless steel is commonly used for exhaust components because it offers good resistance to corrosion and can withstand the high temperatures generated by an engine. It's also known for being weldable, which is important for custom fabrication.

What does the 16 gauge wall thickness mean for this tubing?

A 16 gauge wall thickness, equivalent to .065 inches, provides a solid structure for exhaust tubing. It's thick enough to be durable and hold up to exhaust system stresses, yet thin enough that it can be readily welded and formed by most fabricators.

Is this tubing pre-bent or straight?

This product is a straight length of tubing. It is intended for custom fabrication where you will be bending and shaping the material to fit your specific application.

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 48-inch length of straight tubing from Stainless Bros is made from SS304 stainless steel, a popular choice for exhaust work because it resists corrosion and holds up well under high temperatures. It’s a solid option for building custom headers, mid-pipes, or mufflers where precise bends and strong welds are key.

The tubing measures 1-3/8 inches in outside diameter, with a wall thickness of 16 gauge, which is .065 inches. This thickness offers a good balance between strength and ease of welding, making it manageable for many fabrication projects. SS304 stainless steel is known for its weldability, so you can expect clean, strong joints when you're putting your custom exhaust together.
