Vibrant 1.625in (1-5/8in) O.D. T304 SS U-J Mandrel Bent Tubing
Vibrant 1.625in T304 SS U-J Mandrel Bent Tubing delivers a single piece with 180 degree and 45 degree bends plus three 6 inch straight legs for custom exhaust fabrication on performance vehicles. This tubing supports high flow exhaust systems with smooth interior bends that maintain velocity and reduce backpressure. Fabricators gain efficiency from one integral unit that replaces multiple bends.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Resists corrosion and handles extreme heat for reliable long term exhaust performance
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Creates kink free smooth interior walls to preserve exhaust gas velocity and flow
- U-J Bend Design: Integrates 180 degree bend with 45 degree bend and 6 inch legs on each end for tight routing in custom setups
- Precise Specifications: 1.625 inch OD 0.065 inch wall thickness 4 inch centerline radius for consistent fit and strength
- Fabrication Efficiency: Substantial straight sections reduce welding points and assembly time during exhaust builds
Product Notes
- Mill finish surface ready for welding or polishing as needed
- Inspect for proper alignment before cutting or welding
- Packages securely to prevent bend deformation during transit
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- TIG welding advised for stainless steel to ensure leak free joints
