Vibrant 2.0in OD T304 SS 45 Deg Mandrel Bend Elbow (2.0in Centerline Radius)
This mandrel bent elbow from Vibrant Performance features T304 stainless steel construction with a brushed finish for custom exhaust fabrication on cars trucks and performance vehicles. The 45 degree angle and 2.0 inch centerline radius (1D tight radius) provide smooth airflow transitions in tight spaces. Short 2.5 inch leg lengths minimize material waste during builds.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Offers corrosion resistance and high temperature durability for long lasting exhaust systems
- Brushed Finish: Provides clean aesthetic look with virtually no surface preparation needed before welding
- Mandrel Bent Design: Ensures uniform wall thickness and uninterrupted interior flow to maintain exhaust velocity
- 2.0in Centerline Radius: 1D tight radius fits compact routing while preserving performance
- Short Leg Lengths: 2.5in on each leg reduces scrap and simplifies fabrication processes
Product Notes
