What makes SS304 stainless steel a good choice for exhaust tubing?

SS304 stainless steel offers good resistance to corrosion and heat, which are common challenges for exhaust systems. This helps the tubing last longer in the harsh undercar environment.

Is this tubing suitable for welding?

Yes, 16-gauge SS304 stainless steel is generally considered weldable with common MIG or TIG setups. Its thickness makes it manageable for most fabrication tasks.

What kind of projects is this tubing typically used for?

This tubing is commonly used for custom exhaust fabrication, including building custom headers, mid-pipes, or mufflers. It's also useful for repairs or modifications to existing exhaust systems.

About this part

Product Details

This 48-inch long, 16-gauge straight tube from Stainless Bros is made from SS304 stainless steel, a material known for its good corrosion resistance, making it a solid choice for exhaust system fabrication. The 2.5-inch outer diameter is a common size for many exhaust applications, offering a good balance between flow and fitment in custom setups.

Using 16-gauge tubing provides a good balance of strength and weldability for custom exhaust projects. SS304 stainless steel is a popular choice because it holds up well to the heat and moisture found in exhaust systems, helping to prevent premature rust or failure compared to standard steel. This straight section is ready to be cut, bent, and welded into your unique exhaust configuration.
