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

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...
