304 S/S Tubing - 5ft. - 3in

The Patriot Exhaust 304 Stainless Steel Tubing — 5ft. — 3in (model H7717) is a straight exhaust pipe section designed for custom exhaust system fabrication and performance modifications. Built from 304 stainless steel in 16-gauge construction, this 60-inch straight tubing delivers corrosion resistance and durability essential for both street and high-temperature engine applications where exhaust heat and moisture demand premium material integrity.

The 3-inch diameter accommodates mid-range to larger displacement engines and allows for flexible routing through engine bays during custom system design. At 60 inches in length, this section provides substantial material for multiple bend configurations or trimming to fit specific vehicle layouts. The 16-gauge wall thickness balances structural integrity with workability — strong enough to withstand exhaust pressure and vibration cycles, yet manageable for bending and welding operations. Natural finish stainless steel can be polished to a mirror shine or left in industrial appearance depending on aesthetic preference.

This tubing serves builders, fabricators, and performance enthusiasts constructing custom exhaust systems, downpipes, intake runners, or headers. It's particularly suited for applications where OEM exhaust components are unavailable or where custom routing provides performance or aesthetic advantages. The 304 stainless material resists rust in salt-air environments and tolerates thermal cycling better than mild steel, making it reliable for long-term installations across various climates and engine configurations.

Patriot Exhaust is recognized in the automotive performance aftermarket for welded stainless assemblies and component tubing. Individual straight sections like this one enable custom fabricators and DIY builders to source premium material without committing to pre-bent or pre-assembled systems, offering flexibility in design and routing for specialized builds.
