Vibrant 2.5in O.D. T304 SS 15 deg Mandrel Bend 5in x 5in leg lengths (3.5in Centerline Radius)
This Vibrant mandrel bend delivers precise 15 degree shaping for custom exhaust systems on performance vehicles. Crafted from T304 stainless steel tubing it fits universal fabrication projects to route exhaust around chassis and suspension components. Expect smoother gas flow and longer lasting construction compared to crimped bends.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Handles extreme heat and resists corrosion for reliable long-term performance in exhaust applications
- 16 Gauge 0.065in Wall: Provides strength without excess weight ideal for high-flow exhaust builds
- Mandrel Bent Design: Keeps consistent 2.5in inside diameter throughout the bend for unrestricted exhaust velocity
- 15 Degree Angle: Allows tight routing in compact engine bays while maintaining flow efficiency
- 5in Inlet 5in Outlet Legs 3.5in CLR: Compact size suits most custom layouts with room for welding and positioning
