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
