Vibrant 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 2in OD x 5in CLR 304 Stainless Steel Tubing
This Vibrant mandrel bent tubing delivers a precise 180 degree bend for custom automotive exhaust and intake systems. It fits any performance build requiring a 2 inch outer diameter section with a compact 5 inch centerline radius. The design maintains full inner diameter flow to support unrestricted exhaust scavenging and power gains.
Key Features
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Eliminates kinks and ovaling for consistent cross-section and optimal exhaust gas velocity.
- 304 Stainless Steel Material: Provides enduring resistance to rust corrosion and high heat for long-term durability in harsh environments.
- 5 Inch Centerline Radius: Allows tight routing in confined engine bays while preserving bend flow efficiency.
- 2 Inch Outer Diameter: Matches standard performance piping sizes for seamless integration in 2 inch exhaust setups.
- 16 Gauge Wall Thickness (0.065 inch): Balances strength rigidity and weight for reliable fabrication without excess material.
Product Notes
- Polished finish supports easy welding and TIG brazing during custom fabrication.
- Clean the tubing ends before welding to ensure strong leak-free joints.
- Ships straight from manufacturer packaging to prevent handling damage.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Measure clearance before install to confirm 5 inch radius fits routing path.
- Compatible with standard exhaust clamps hangers and V-band flanges.
