Vibrant 120 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.75in OD x 6in CLR 304 Stainless Steel Tubing - Universal Custom Fit
Vibrant Performance 18326 provides a precise 120-degree mandrel bend in 1.75-inch OD 304 stainless steel tubing featuring 6-inch centerline radius and 2.5-inch straight legs on each end. This component enables custom fabrication of high-flow exhaust manifolds turbo downpipes and complete exhaust systems for performance vehicles. It preserves full pipe diameter throughout the bend to ensure smooth exhaust flow and consistent power output.
Key Features
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Creates wrinkle-free bends that retain 100 percent of the 1.75in OD for smooth laminar flow and lower backpressure
- T304 Stainless Steel: Offers resistance to corrosion heat and fatigue in high-demand exhaust applications for extended service life
- Exact Dimensions: 1.75in OD 0.065in wall thickness 6in CLR 120-degree angle 2.5in legs on inlet and outlet for direct integration
- Versatile Application: Matches Vibrant range of bends from 15 to 180 degrees in 1.00in to 5.00in OD sizes for full custom exhaust builds
- Precision Manufacturing: Delivers uniform radius and tight tolerances for reliable welding and fabrication
Product Notes
- Designed for cutting and TIG welding into custom exhaust or intake setups
- Inspect for proper alignment before final weld to maintain flow efficiency
- Packed in protective tubing sleeve to prevent handling damage
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- TIG weld only using 304 stainless filler rod matching 0.065in wall
- Compatible with V-band flanges butt joints or slip-fit connections
