Vibrant 120 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.625in OD x 2in CLR 304 Stainless Steel Tubing - Universal Fabrication Fit
This Vibrant Performance mandrel bend provides a precise 120 degree angle in 1.625 inch OD tubing with a 2 inch centerline radius ideal for custom exhaust routing in tight spaces. Made from 16 gauge 304 stainless steel it maintains consistent diameter and smooth flow for performance exhaust systems on any vehicle. Fabricators rely on it for reliable unrestricted exhaust velocity and durability under high heat.
Key Features
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Prevents crimps or reductions to deliver full uninterrupted exhaust flow and peak performance
- 304 Stainless Steel Material: Resists corrosion and handles extreme heat cycles in high-demand exhaust setups
- 120 Degree Bend Angle: Enables sharp turns in confined engine bays without flow loss
- 2 Inch Centerline Radius: Tight design fits restricted areas while preserving tubing strength and gas velocity
- 16 Gauge Wall (0.065in Thick): Balances strength for long life with light weight to cut vehicle mass

Fabrication
Fabrication parts and materials provide the raw components needed to build, repair, and modify custom exhaust systems, turbocharger plumbing, intercooler piping, fuel system lines, oil routing, and engine bay heat management on performance and competition vehicles. Stainless steel tubing, titanium tubing, aluminum charge piping, mandrel bends, pie cuts, flanges, merge collectors, V-band clamps, O2 sensor bungs, AN fittings, PTFE hose kits, braided fuel and oil lines, heat shields, and welding supplies are the backbone of any serious custom fabrication project. Professional fabricators, race team mechanics, and advanced DIY builders who want full control over exhaust routing, charge pipe layout, or fuel system plumbing choose raw fabrication materials rather than pre-bent kits because custom fabrication allows fitment solutions that no universal kit can accommodate. Brands including Vibrant Performance, Ticon Industries, Stainless Bros, Radium Engineering, Fragola, and DEI provide th...
