This Vibrant Performance mandrel bend delivers seamless 90-degree turns for 2.5-inch exhaust systems in custom fabrication projects. Crafted from T304 stainless steel it ensures smooth airflow without crimps or reductions. Ideal for performance exhaust builds on cars trucks and off-road vehicles seeking reliable durability and flow efficiency.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Provides corrosion resistance and high strength for exhaust systems exposed to heat and elements over years of use.
- Mandrel Bent Design: Maintains full 2.5in OD pipe diameter throughout the bend for unrestricted exhaust gas flow and maximum horsepower.
- Precise Leg Lengths: 4in short leg and 12in long leg with 2.5in centerline radius fit tight spaces and complex routing in custom setups.
- 16 Gauge Thickness (0.065in): Balances lightweight construction with structural integrity to handle boost and high-flow applications.
- Consistent Dimensions: Factory tolerances allow direct welding with minimal grinding or fitting for faster fabrication time.
Product Notes
- Designed for TIG welding with consistent material composition reducing prep work.
- Mill finish surface supports easy cleaning and polishing for custom finishes.
- Packaged in protective sleeve to prevent dings during transit.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Tack weld in place before full seams to maintain alignment.
