Does anybody know where I can buy a 200mm length of 2” stainless exhaust tube?

I don’t want to buy a 6m length.

Steel and tube stainless do shorter lengths than 6m, iirc I got 2m of 38mm for about a hundy bucks, worth ringing them first, then try some muffler shops. Failing finding a GC kbr on here of course.

I used to get all manner of stainless items off Tube Bending Ltd in East Tamaki.
Very reasonable pricing too.

citysteel.co.nz

They manufacture both motorcycle/stock car and car performance exhausts so wil make up anything you need/want.

Issue is they are in Hastings so you will need to pay for postage of it.....any steel engineering shop should be able to make something up for you thought?

Most exhaust shops will have off cuts of stainless. Most don't use it as a rule, so they buy it in, but should have an offcut.

Apparently not. Have tried heaps.

Thanks for the other suggestions, my hunt will resume Monday.

You got ripped off bro. Last 6m length of 38.1mm cost be less than 100 bucks from Tatasteel. I would Def give them a email spokes. I buy off cuts from them all the time.
STAParts are the best bang for buck when it comes to low cost stuff. Aint the worlds best finish but it does the trick and its nice and light.

Mico metals or Tata steel will both sell you cut pieces.

If it's for an actual zorst specify grade 304.

Well as they were never made like that I doubt you would. :laugh:

The only stock system that fits is from a CBR900rr but you need the full system. I want to use my headers.

What are you wanting to do.. Is it a mod or reconstruction. I'm after a set of replacement headers for my Hornet ......

A while ago I saw a pile of new, stock Commodore stainless exhausts, mufflers and whatnot laying behind the workshop of a Holden dealer. when I asked I was told that new car buyers had the standard pipes replaced with performance items and the standard stuff was basically scrap. No doubt it happened at ford dealers too. You could ask around the local falcadore shops.

Thanks for that champ. But I cant run about during work hours as im kinda busy at work. And not many steel places near work I can get to during lunch hours. Also a 6m length of stainless is a little hard to put on me Hornet.

But i do have some useful leads thanks to others.

If you only want 200mm I can help you. It won't be exhaust tube though. It'll be 304, either hand rail or dairy standard tube. 2"OD and 1.5mm wall thickness. Shiny finish.
