Tubes for Exhaust Gas Systems in Luxury Vehicles

The Solution: Hydroformed Tube

The hydroforming of tubes in AISI 304, AISI 309, AISI 316 stainless steel and aluminium fully met all requirements, delivering outstanding quality, excellent process flexibility, and very low tooling costs.

Customers were highly satisfied with the performance of the product, which made it possible to reduce the overall weight of the assembly and produce a single, seamless component. This significantly reduced system complexity, especially considering that traditional techniques would have required a higher number of operations—more critical and costly—due to the geometry involved.

Hydroforming is naturally well suited for producing a wide range of components in both exhaust and intake systems of vehicles, particularly in the premium car, motorsport, and commercial vehicle segments.
