Vibrant 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.50in OD x 6in CLR 304 Stainless Steel Tubing - Universal Fit
This Vibrant mandrel bent tube forms a precise 180 degree bend ideal for custom automotive exhaust fabrication turbo piping and intercooler setups. It suits any performance vehicle including cars trucks race cars and off-road rigs needing tight radius turns. Seamless construction holds full pipe diameter for smooth exhaust flow and lower backpressure in high performance builds.
Key Features
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Creates a continuous smooth radius without crimps or reductions to sustain airflow velocity and power output.
- 304 Stainless Steel Material: Resists corrosion withstands high heat and lasts in demanding exhaust conditions.
- 1.50 Inch Outside Diameter: Aligns with standard 1.5 inch systems for seamless custom piping assembly.
- 6 Inch Centerline Radius: Allows tight 180 degree U-bends in crowded engine bays and chassis spaces.
- 0.065 Inch Wall Thickness: Balances strength for boost pressure with light weight for racing applications.
