Vibrant Performance 2.5 inch OD aluminum tubing with 180 degree mandrel bend delivers smooth airflow for custom exhaust intercooler piping and intake manifolds. Built from 6061-T6 aluminum this universal part suits performance vehicles needing precise bends in fabrication projects. Its mirror polished surface and consistent walls support direct welding with little prep.
Key Features
- Mandrel Bent Design: Preserves full 2.5in diameter through the 180 degree turn for unrestricted flow and no crimping
- 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction: Provides strength-to-weight ratio with corrosion resistance ideal for high-heat exhaust applications
- Mirror Polished Finish: Enhances visual appeal while easing weld prep and cleaning during fabrication
- 0.065in Wall Thickness (16 Gauge): Balances durability and lightness for reduced vehicle weight without sacrificing integrity
- Precise Dimensional Accuracy: 4in straight legs on each side ensure repeatable fits in custom turbo downpipe or Y-pipe builds
Product Notes
- Tubing requires TIG welding for best aluminum joint strength
- Store in dry area to maintain polished surface
- Ships in protective sleeve to prevent dings during transit
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Clean ends thoroughly before welding to avoid contamination
