Vibrant Performance 2.5in Nom. Schedule-10 T304 SS Tight Radius 90 deg. Elbow - Universal for Turbo Fabrication
This Vibrant Performance elbow is a 2.5 inch nominal Schedule 10 T304 stainless steel tight radius 90 degree bend designed for custom turbo exhaust manifolds and downpipe builds. It fits universal applications on turbocharged vehicles where space is limited in engine bays. The precise mandrel bend ensures smooth exhaust flow and withstands extreme heat cycles for reliable performance.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Provides corrosion resistance and maintains structural integrity under high exhaust temperatures for long-lasting use in harsh environments
- Schedule 10 Wall Thickness 0.109in: Delivers optimal strength to weight ratio ideal for high boost turbo setups without adding excess mass
- Tight Radius 90 Degree Bend: 2.25in centerline radius with 4in legs enables compact routing in crowded engine compartments
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Smooth uninterrupted interior prevents turbulence maximizes exhaust scavenging and horsepower
- 2.5in Nominal Diameter: Matches standard turbo downpipe and manifold sizing for seamless integration in performance exhaust systems
