If you’re diving into some custom work on your ride, you’ll want to check out this HPS 6061 Aluminum Straight Tubing. Seriously, this stuff is a game changer for anyone tinkering with DIY projects. Whether you’re looking to build a custom air intake or set up a cooling system, this 3-foot length of tubing is just what you need.
First off, let’s talk about the material. We’re working with 6061-T6 aluminum here, which is known for its strength and durability without being too heavy. The wall thickness is 16 gauge (1.65mm), so you know it’s robust enough to handle the pressure without crumpling under stress. Plus, the outside diameter is a solid 2-3/8 inches (60mm), making it a versatile choice for various applications.
This tubing isn’t just for show—it's used in everything from automotive to marine and even aerospace projects. So, whether you’re fabricating turbo intercooler piping or just need some reliable tubing for your next project, this piece has got you covered. It’s got that mill finish, which not only looks good but also helps with the overall durability.
Now, for the nitty-gritty: it’s straight tubing, so there’s no bending involved, which means you can cut it to whatever length you need. Just keep in mind, if you’re planning on using it for a turbo setup, it easily clears 35-inch tires with a bit of trimming on certain builds. This is a solid choice for anyone who wants to take on some custom fabrication without breaking the bank.
So, if you’re ready to get your hands dirty and create something awesome, grab this tubing and start building. You won’t regret it!
