Exhaust Tubing - 2.000 18 Gauge - 5ft. Long

The Exhaust Tubing - 2.000 18 Gauge - 5ft. Long from Patriot Exhaust is a straight steel exhaust pipe built for custom exhaust fabrication, restoration work, and performance system modifications. Whether you're designing a cat-back system, turbo downpipe, or complete exhaust rework, this 2-inch diameter tubing serves as the foundation for professional-quality exhaust construction. Mechanics and fabricators rely on this product to create mandrel-bent layouts, custom collector transitions, and header-to-muffler runs without the premium cost of pre-bent assemblies.

This exhaust pipe is manufactured from natural (bare) steel with 18-gauge wall thickness—a proven standard that balances structural rigidity with weldability and thermal management. The 2-inch inside diameter accommodates mid-range engine displacement (typically 4-cylinder to 6-cylinder naturally aspirated, or boosted 4-cylinder applications) and allows sufficient scavenging velocity for effective exhaust evacuation. The straight, 60-inch length provides flexibility: cut and re-form sections, establish primary runs, or combine multiple pieces for longer systems. The steel construction accepts TIG, MIG, or stick welding, and the natural finish allows complete customization—powder coat, ceramic coating, or polished stainless wrapping afterward without finishing conflicts.

Fabricators, hot-rodders, and restoration specialists benefit most from this raw material approach, as it eliminates the cost and lead time of pre-bent, vehicle-specific pipes. Installation requires basic welding skill and proper safety equipment; always use a mandrel bender if curves are needed to maintain flow and prevent collapse. The 4.95-pound weight makes handling straightforward during assembly and installation. This tubing is ideal for single or dual exhaust systems, test pipes, and prototype designs where custom fit and acoustic tuning take priority over bolt-on convenience.
