Tubing Bends Appraisal

Assorted Automotive Exhaust Tubing Bends

This item consists of a collection of unfinished or raw exhaust tubing bends, likely intended for custom fabrication or repair of automotive exhaust systems. The tubes appear to be made of unpolished steel or stainless steel, exhibiting a dull, uniform metallic gray finish characteristic of raw metal. The lot includes various bends, such as tighter 'U' bends (or 180-degree bends), and straighter sections. The diameters of the tubes appear consistent across the visible pieces, suggesting they are part of a matching set, possibly around 2-3 inches in typical exhaust pipe diameter, though exact measurements are not discernible from the image. Each piece is uniformly cylindrical in cross-section. There are no visible welds, flanges, or mounting brackets, indicating these are individual components for custom assembly. The surface shows minor scuffs and marks consistent with handling and storage in a cardboard box, but no significant dents, rust, or damage. The pieces are packaged loosely in a brown cardboard box, with crumpled brown paper acting as simple dunnage or wrapping, likely to prevent excessive movement or minor scratching during transport. There are no discernible maker's marks, stamps, or part numbers visible on the tubing or the packing material itself. Given their raw state and variety of bends, these are likely aftermarket universal parts, not specific OEM replacements, estimated to be of a modern manufacturing period, possibly within the last 10-20 years. The quality of the bends appears smooth and consistent, suggesting machine forming.
