Buying Guide

Match outer diameter to your tailpipe

Measure the tailpipe OD and choose a replacement pipe with the same outer diameter (options here include 2", 2.5" and 3") to avoid welding or adapters

Prefer T-304 stainless for corrosion resistance

T-304 stainless steel resists rust and holds up to heat cycling better than mild steel, extending service life for exposed tailpipe extensions

Choose mandrel bends for smoother exhaust flow

Mandrel-bent 180° elbows preserve internal diameter through the bend, reducing turbulence and backpressure compared with crush bends

Consider length and installation style

Select an overall length that provides the required extension without interfering with rear fascia; straight sections and 180° pieces can combine to reach needed fit

Factor in mounting and finish

Look for pipes with consistent wall thickness and a polished or brushed finish if corrosion resistance and appearance at the tail are priorities
