Vibrant 1.25in Nom. Schedule-10 T304 SS Long Radius 45 deg. Elbow
This mandrel-bent elbow from Vibrant Performance uses T304 stainless steel Schedule 10 pipe to deliver reliable performance in turbo exhaust manifold and downpipe builds. The 1.25 inch nominal size with long radius 45-degree bend supports custom fabrication on performance vehicles needing efficient exhaust flow. It reduces turbulence for better scavenging and power output across automotive turbo setups.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Resists corrosion and withstands extreme exhaust temperatures for long-lasting durability in demanding conditions.
- Schedule 10 Wall Thickness: Balances strength and lightness at 0.109 inches thick to cut weight while maintaining structural integrity under pressure.
- Long Radius 45-Degree Bend: Promotes laminar flow with a smooth 1.5D radius to minimize backpressure and enhance turbo efficiency.
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Keeps consistent 1.660 inch OD and full ID throughout the bend to avoid restrictions or kinks during fabrication.
- Butt Weld Ends: Provides clean, precise joints for TIG welding in custom manifolds, downpipes, and high-flow exhaust systems.
Product Notes
- Inspect ends for burrs and deburr before welding to achieve strong bonds.
- Store in dry area to prevent surface oxidation prior to installation.
- Packaged in protective sleeve to arrive ready for fabrication projects.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- TIG weld with 308L filler rod and argon shielding for best results on T304 material.
- Tack weld in place after mock-up to ensure alignment in manifold assembly.
