Straight Tubing 1.75in O.D. - 16 Gauge Wall

The Vibrant Performance straight tubing 1.75in O.D. – 16 gauge wall is a premium exhaust pipe component engineered for custom exhaust fabrication, turbo manifold construction, and high-performance header builds. Mechanics and fabricators rely on this stainless steel tubing as a foundation for custom exhaust systems, where precision tubing diameter and wall thickness directly impact flow characteristics, durability, and engine responsiveness. Whether you're building a street performance exhaust or designing a full exhaust system from scratch, this straight section provides the structural integrity and material quality required for demanding applications.

Constructed from premium stainless steel with a 16-gauge wall thickness, this tubing resists corrosion, thermal stress, and vibration fatigue that degrade mild steel alternatives over time. The 1.75-inch outer diameter is a versatile sizing choice that balances scavenging efficiency across a wide range of engine displacement and power levels—large enough to minimize backpressure but tight enough to maintain velocity for optimal exhaust scooping and turbocharger response. At 39.375 inches in length and weighing 4.85 lbs, this straight section offers ample material for routing around engine bay obstacles while remaining light enough to integrate into weight-conscious builds without structural penalty.

Fabricators, hot rodders, and performance shops use this straight tubing to connect primary runners to collectors, build custom mid-pipes, or link exhaust components in forced-induction setups. The natural stainless finish resists rust in underhood environments and maintains aesthetic appeal whether visible or tucked inside the engine bay. Welding and bending are straightforward due to the gauge and diameter—no special equipment required for skilled TIG or MIG work. For anyone serious about exhaust system customization, upgrading exhaust flow, or replacing corroded factory tubing, this Vibrant Performance component delivers OEM-grade material properties and dimensional accuracy at affordable pricing.
