Vibrant Slip Joint Adapter for 1.625in OD Tubing Fully Welded (2 Piece Assembly)

When you're fabricating or modifying an exhaust system, especially for tight spaces or components that experience a lot of heat, you need a reliable way to connect pipes that can also handle thermal expansion. This slip joint adapter from Vibrant Performance is designed to make that job much simpler. It's a two-piece assembly that fits tubing with an outside diameter of 1.625 inches, giving you a clean and effective union.

This adapter is built from 304 stainless steel, which is a solid choice for exhaust components because it resists corrosion really well. The welds are fully done and 100% back purged, meaning they're strong and clean on the inside too. The slip fit design means the pipes slide together easily and can be taken apart without a fight, which is a big help during assembly or if you ever need to service that section of the exhaust. It also includes a lead-in tube to help guide the pieces together smoothly.

These are commonly used for connecting headers, turbo manifolds, or anywhere you need a union in a tight spot that needs to accommodate movement from heat cycles. It's a well-built piece that simplifies exhaust fabrication and repair.
