Vibrant 1.5in O.D. T304 SS U-J Mandrel Bent Tubing
Vibrant 1.5in O.D. T304 stainless steel U-J mandrel bent tubing combines a 180 degree U-bend and 45 degree J-bend into one piece with straight sections for versatile custom exhaust fabrication. This tubing suits performance cars trucks and race vehicles needing precise bends and optimal exhaust flow. Fabricators value its integral design that handles multiple routing needs in exhaust downpipes crossovers and Y-pipes.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Delivers corrosion resistance and withstands high exhaust temperatures for long-lasting performance in harsh conditions
- Mandrel Bent Design: Ensures smooth interior walls without crimps or reductions to maintain maximum exhaust gas velocity and power
- U-J Bend Configuration: Integrates 180 degree U-bend and 45 degree J-bend with substantial straight legs to solve complex routing challenges in one part
- Exact Dimensions: 1.5 inch OD 0.065 inch wall thickness 3.5 inch centerline radius Leg 1 8.5 inches Leg 2 6 inches Leg 3 8.5 inches overall length 20.25 inches
- Universal Fabrication Ready: Provides clean ends for easy TIG welding and cutting to fit diverse exhaust system builds
