It’s ideal for temporary test installations, permanent welded joins, or as a low-cost replacement part where consistent internal diameter and straightforward fitment are required. If you require corrosion-resistant stainless steel or pre-coated finishes, consider additional treatments or alternative materials based on your environmental exposure and longevity needs.\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will this pipe fit my 2.25\" exhaust system?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes if your system uses a 2.25\" nominal tube; verify joint type and clearance before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Is the pipe ready to weld or should I coat it first?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The mild steel pipe is weld-ready; apply anti-corrosion coating after welding for best longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"LCGP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087281893534,"sku":"B0G2LDRX56","price":34.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/lcgp-front-view-pipe_0b926022-bd9f-4065-bbae-5a9db5b9571b.jpg?v=1785920189","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/lcgp-2-25-custom-mandrel-straight-exhaust-pipe-18-long","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
