Route Custom Exhaust Tubing With a Precise 15 Degree Bend
Stainless Bros 601-05016-8150 provides a shallow routing change for custom exhaust and fabrication work. The 2 inch SS304 tube combines a 15 degree bend with long equal legs for trimming, alignment, and joining within a compatible system.
Key Features
- Mandrel formed 15 degree bend maintains a consistent tube profile through the curve
- SS304 stainless steel construction suits custom exhaust fabrication
- 1.5D bend radius provides a gradual change in direction
- Equal 6.5 inch legs provide material for fitting and trimming
- 16 gauge wall balances fabrication strength with manageable weight

FAQ
What is the 601-05016-8150?It is a universal SS304 mandrel bend with a 2 inch outside diameter, a 15 degree angle, and equal 6.5 inch legs.
Is this bend vehicle specific?No. Compatibility depends on the tube diameter, required routing angle, and the dimensions of the fabricated system.
What material is used?The bend is made from SS304 stainless steel.
What is the tube wall thickness?The tube uses a 16 gauge wall measuring 0.065 inch.
What does a 1.5D radius mean for this bend?The centerline radius is one and one half times the 2 inch tube diameter, which equals 3 inches.
How long are the straight legs?Each side has a 6.5 inch leg for fitting, trimming, and joining.
Can this piece be trimmed during fabrication?Yes. The equal straight legs provide material that a qualified fabricator can measure and trim for the intended assembly.
What should be checked before installation?Confirm the 2 inch tube diameter, the required 15 degree routing change, clearances, and joint alignment before cutting or joining.
Installation Instructions
- Measure the required routing change and confirm that 2 inch tubing matches the adjoining components.
- Test fit the bend and mark any required trim points on the straight legs.
- Cut and deburr the tubing as needed while preserving sufficient material for the intended joints.
- Clean the joining surfaces and align the bend with the rest of the fabricated assembly.
- Join the tubing using a suitable process performed by a qualified fabricator.
- Inspect alignment, clearances, and all completed joints before operating the vehicle.
