Vibrant 1.75in CLR 1.5in x 5in Leg Length 2.5in OD 120 Deg Tight Radius Aluminum Bend
This Vibrant Performance aluminum mandrel bend delivers precise 120 degree routing for custom fabrication in tight engine bays. It fits universal applications across performance cars trucks and race builds needing compact oil lines or exhaust sections. Mandrel bending ensures smooth flow without crimps boosting efficiency in high performance setups.
Key Features
- 1.75in Centerline Radius (CLR): Allows installation in confined spaces where standard bends fail providing flexibility for complex routing.
- 2.5in Outer Diameter (OD): Matches common tubing sizes for seamless integration into 2.5 inch exhaust or oil systems.
- 1.5in x 5in Leg Lengths: Short and long legs offer versatile positioning for straight-to-bend transitions in custom layouts.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight corrosion resistant material withstands high heat and pressure in demanding environments.
- 120 Degree Tight Radius Bend: Factory mandrel bent for uniform wall thickness and maximum flow velocity in performance plumbing.
