Vibrant 2.5in O.D. T304 SS 60 deg Mandrel Bend 6in x 6in leg lengths (3.5in Centerline Radius)
This Vibrant mandrel bend forms precise 60 degree angles in 2.5 inch exhaust systems for custom fabrication on cars trucks and race vehicles. The T304 stainless steel construction ensures durability under high heat and pressure while maintaining consistent ID for unrestricted flow. Use it to route exhaust piping around chassis components with minimal restriction and long lasting performance.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: 16 gauge 0.065in wall thickness resists corrosion and handles exhaust temperatures over 1600F for extended service life
- Mandrel Bent Design: Eliminates crimping or ovaling to keep full 2.25in ID for maximum airflow and horsepower gains
- 60 Degree Bend Angle: Provides sharp turns with 6in x 6in leg lengths ideal for tight spaces in engine bays or undercarriage routing
- 3.5in Centerline Radius: Delivers smooth gradual curve reducing turbulence and backpressure in high performance setups
- Consistent Dimensions: Factory precise tubing matches Vibrant straight lengths perfectly for seamless welds and professional results
Product Notes
- Minimal preparation needed before welding due to clean consistent material composition
- Inspect for burrs before install though mandrel process leaves smooth interior
- Secure packaging protects bends during transit with foam inserts
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Tack weld in place then fully weld using TIG for best strength on stainless
- Compatible with all 2.5in OD exhaust clamps hangers and mufflers
