The Stainless Bros 601-05026-4100 is a 2-inch OD, 45-degree mandrel bend for fabricating compact custom exhaust, intake, charge-pipe, and other welded tubing assemblies. Its tight 1D radius equals a 2-inch centerline radius, while 16-gauge (.065-inch wall) 304 stainless steel balances fabrication strength, corrosion resistance, and manageable welding thickness.
Key Features
- 2-inch outside diameter for matching 2-inch tubing assemblies
- 45-degree mandrel-bent geometry for controlled directional changes
- Tight 1D bend radius with a 2-inch centerline radius
- 16-gauge (.065-inch wall) SS304 construction
- Legged configuration provides material for trimming, clocking, and welding
- Mandrel-bent construction helps maintain a consistent cross-section through the curve
Fitment
This is a universal fabrication component, not a vehicle-specific bolt-on part. Compatibility is determined by the complete tubing layout and exact dimensions. Confirm 2-inch OD tubing, 45-degree bend angle, 2-inch centerline radius, .065-inch wall thickness, available clearance, and Stainless Bros part number 601-05026-4100 before ordering.

Installation
Professional fabrication is recommended. Measure and test-fit the complete assembly before trimming or welding. Clean mating surfaces, use filler metal and shielding gas appropriate for 304 stainless steel, maintain clearance from wiring, hoses, body panels, and heat-sensitive components, support the finished system without preload, and leak-test all completed joints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this bend fit a specific vehicle?
No. It is a universal fabrication part selected by tubing diameter, material, wall thickness, angle, bend radius, and available space.
What does 1D radius mean?
The bend radius equals one tubing diameter. On this 2-inch bend, the centerline radius is 2 inches.
Can it be used in a custom exhaust system?
Yes, when the system is designed for 2-inch 304 stainless tubing and the listed bend geometry provides the required routing and clearance.
