Brushed Aluminum Pipes/Bends
Brushed Aluminum Pipes/Bends. Commonly called "pipes", the correct term is Tubes. All of our aluminum tubes below are mandrel bent out of 6061 T6 aluminum, have a brushed finish (better for welding vs polished) & are made in the USA. There are 2 main determining factors between a pipe & a tube.... thickness & how they are measured. Tubes normally have a thinner wall measured in gauge rather then inch & the size of the tube given is the actual size of it's outer diameter. (O.D.) Exhaust systems, intercooler plumbing, air intakes, radiator plumbing, etc are all made with Tubes. Pipes are structural & used for builds such as roll bars, roll cages, suspension, car frames, etc.
