4.5in OD T6061 Aluminum Straight Tube - 18in lon

The 4.5in OD T6061 Aluminum Straight Tube – 18in long from Vibrant Performance is a precision-engineered component designed for builders and fabricators working on custom exhaust systems, intercooler piping, intake manifolds, and other high-temperature applications. This tube is ideal for turbo and supercharger installers, custom fabricators, and DIY enthusiasts building one-off intake or cooling systems on domestic and import platforms.

Manufactured from T6061 aluminum alloy, this straight tube delivers a balance of strength, machinability, and thermal performance essential for engine bay work. The 4.5-inch outer diameter (OD) provides a large-diameter flow path ideal for boosted applications and intercooler core piping where restriction minimizes turbo lag and heat soak. Built to spec for automotive professionals who demand accuracy and repeatability in their modifications, this tube offers sufficient material for cutting, welding, and forming without excessive waste.

T6061's excellent weldability and corrosion resistance make it suitable for both pressurized cooling circuits and exhaust routing where temperatures remain moderate. This product is a reliable foundation that meets professional-grade standards, ensuring that builders can achieve optimal performance in their custom setups.
