HPS Performance 6061 Aluminum Straight Tubing 3" OD 16 Gauge Raw Finish 1 Foot Long
$32.28

If you're diving into some custom fabrication projects, this HPS 6061 Aluminum Straight Tubing is a solid choice. With an outside diameter of 3 inches (76mm) and a length of 1 foot, this tubing is designed to fit snugly into a variety of setups. Whether you're working on DIY air intakes, cooling systems, or turbo intercooler piping, this stuff has got your back.

The wall thickness is a sturdy 16 gauge (1.65mm), which means it’s tough enough to handle the demands of industrial, automotive, marine, and even aerospace applications. I’ve used it for a couple of projects, and the 6061-T6 aluminum really holds up well. It’s lightweight yet durable, making it a go-to for anyone looking to build something that lasts.

One of the things I appreciate is the mill finish—it gives the tubing a raw, industrial look that fits right in with the whole custom vibe. Plus, it’s seamless, which helps with airflow and overall performance, especially if you're pushing your vehicle to the limits.

In terms of specs, you’re looking at a straight aluminum tube that’s perfect for a range of applications. It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about what you can create with it. So if you’re ready to tackle that next project, this tubing is definitely worth considering.
