Stainless Steel Exhaust Parts & Fabrication Accessories

Q: What pipe diameters do you stock?

We carry a comprehensive range from 32mm to 127mm in both 201 and 304 grade stainless steel. This covers everything from small-bore headers to large-diameter performance exhaust systems. Available across bends, straight pipe, flex pipe, reducers, and clamps.

Q: Do you ship across South Africa?

Yes, we deliver nationwide through The Courier Guy. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and order size. Most orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days.

Q: What is a V-band clamp and when should I use one?

A Quick Release V-Band Clamp creates a secure, leak-free joint between two flanged exhaust pipe sections. They allow fast disassembly without cutting — perfect for turbo downpipes, test pipes, and sections that need regular removal. Our V-band sets include the clamp plus two flanges, available in 304ss from 38mm to 127mm.

201ss & 304ss bends, straight pipe, flex pipe, V-band clamps, reducers, joint clamps & electronic valve kits — built for South African fabricators.

RF Distributors — stainless steel exhaust parts supplier South Africa

Who We Are

Built for Builders. Trusted by Fabricators.

At RF Distributors, we’re more than just a parts supplier — we’re a dedicated partner to exhaust fabricators, performance workshops, resellers, and hands-on DIY builders across South Africa.

We specialise in supplying high-quality stainless steel exhaust components and fabrication essentials designed to perform under pressure. From precision bends and straight tubing to V-band kits, flex pipes, and electronic valve systems, our products are selected with durability, consistency, and real-world workshop demands in mind.

Every part we stock is available in 201-grade (cost-effective strength) and 304-grade (premium corrosion resistance) stainless steel, with wall thicknesses from 1.5mm to 2mm and diameters spanning 32mm to 127mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 201 and 304 stainless steel?

Both are stainless steel grades used in exhaust fabrication. 201ss is a cost-effective option with good strength and moderate corrosion resistance — ideal for standard exhaust builds and budget-conscious projects. 304ss offers superior corrosion resistance and heat tolerance, making it the go-to choice for marine, motorsport, and high-performance applications where longevity matters most.

What pipe diameters do you stock?

We carry a comprehensive range from 32mm to 127mm in both 201 and 304 grade stainless steel. This covers everything from small-bore headers to large-diameter performance exhaust systems. Available across bends, straight pipe, flex pipe, reducers, and clamps.

What wall thickness are your products?

Most of our bends, straight pipe, and flex pipe are manufactured with a 1.5mm wall thickness. We also stock select products in 2mm wall thickness for heavy-duty applications — including 85mm, 114mm, and 127mm bends in both steel grades.

Do you ship across South Africa?

Yes, we deliver nationwide through The Courier Guy. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and order size. Most orders are dispatched within 1–2 business days.

Our V-band sets include the clamp plus two flanges, available in 304ss from 38mm to 127mm.

What are flex pipes used for?

Flex pipes absorb vibration and movement between the engine and the exhaust system, preventing cracking and fatigue. We stock interlock with braided outer flex pipes in 100mm, 150mm, and 200mm lengths, plus netted outer versions for larger diameters (101mm–127mm). We also carry 2-meter interlocking flex for custom routing.

Can I order as a reseller or workshop?

Absolutely. RF Distributors works closely with fabrication workshops, exhaust fitment centres, and resellers. Contact us directly for trade pricing and bulk order enquiries.
