Vibrant Universal 120 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.625in OD x 6in CLR 304 Stainless Steel Tubing
This Vibrant Performance mandrel bent tubing delivers a precise 120 degree angle with 1.625 inch outer diameter and 6 inch centerline radius in durable 304 stainless steel. It fits universal custom fabrication for performance exhaust systems intercooler piping and turbo manifolds on cars trucks and imports. The smooth uninterrupted bend maintains full flow velocity for power gains and reduced backpressure.
Key Features
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Creates seamless radius without kinks or restrictions to preserve exhaust gas velocity and scavenging efficiency
- 304 Stainless Steel Material: Resists corrosion heat and road contaminants for extended service life in harsh environments
- 120 Degree Bend Angle: Enables compact routing in tight engine bays for custom downpipes and Y-pipes
- 1.625in OD 0.065in Wall: Provides strength to handle boost pressure while keeping weight low at 1.35 lbs
- 6in Centerline Radius: Balances tight bend with smooth flow transition ideal for high performance builds

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...
