Vibrant 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.75in OD x 3.5in CLR 304 Stainless Steel Tubing Universal Fit
Vibrant Performance 180 degree mandrel bend tubing measures 1.75 inches outside diameter with a 3.5 inch centerline radius in corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel. This universal component suits custom exhaust and intake fabrication on performance vehicles from street cars to race builds. Mandrel bending delivers smooth interior walls and consistent diameter for unrestricted airflow and power gains.
Key Features
- 304 Stainless Steel Construction: Resists rust and heat for long-term durability in harsh exhaust environments
- Mandrel Bent Design: Internal support prevents kinks or diameter reduction to ensure maximum flow velocity
- 180 Degree Bend Angle: Allows tight U-turn routing in compact engine bays without flow disruption
- 1.75in OD x 3.5in CLR: Matches common turbo downpipe and header sizes for seamless integration
- 16 Gauge Wall Thickness: Balances strength and weight at 0.065 inches for reliable performance
