Description
Build a smooth 15-degree transition without pie-cut welding
Stainless Bros 601-07616-8150 is a universal 3-inch outside-diameter, 15-degree mandrel bend made from 16-gauge 304 stainless steel. Its 1.5D / 4.5 in centerline radius, 6.5 in / 6.5 in leg configuration, laser-cut ends, 180-grit finish, and ultrasonic cleaning provide a ready-to-weld starting point for custom exhaust fabrication.

About Stainless Bros
Stainless Bros produces ready-to-fabricate stainless exhaust components using controlled mandrel bending, laser-cutting, surface finishing, and cleaning processes. Dimensional selection and welding remain the fabricator's responsibility.
Related Parts
- No internal flange, clamp, sensor bung, or straight tube is linked because material grade, diameter, wall thickness, joint design, and fabrication plan must all match.
FAQ
What is the 601-07616-8150?It is one 3-inch 304 stainless steel 15-degree mandrel bend for universal exhaust and fabrication work.
Does it fit a specific vehicle?No. This is a dimension-based fabrication component and must be matched to a measured design.
What alloy is used?The exact bend is made from 304 stainless steel.
What is the wall thickness?The wall is 16 gauge, approximately 0.065 inch.
Are the ends ready to weld?The ends are laser cut and the part is finished and cleaned, but the fabricator must still prepare the joint for the selected welding process.
Can it be used where another diameter is required?No. Do not force, crush, or mislabel the tube; use the diameter specified by the complete system design.
Are clamps or flanges included?No. The listing contains one bend only unless the sealed manufacturer package states otherwise.
What must be checked before welding?Confirm dimensions, alloy, wall, angle, radius, leg length, routing, heat, sensor position, service access, and emissions legality.
Installation Instructions
- Confirm every required dimension and mock up the complete route before cutting.
- Inspect the bend for shipping damage and keep the cleaned bore free of oil and debris.
- Mark cut lines with allowance for joint engagement, welding shrinkage, and component movement.
- Cut and deburr with tools suitable for stainless steel, then clean the joint without contaminating it with carbon-steel residue.
- Tack the assembly in its installed orientation and verify body, drivetrain, suspension, wiring, fuel, and heat-sensitive clearances.
- Complete welding with the appropriate process and purge practice, inspect every joint, and leak-test the finished system before service.
