Vibrant 2in O.D. T304 SS U-Bend (2.5in Centerline Radius) - Universal
Vibrant 2in O.D. T304 SS U-bend with 2.5in centerline radius serves as essential mandrel-bent tubing for custom automotive exhaust fabrication. This 16 gauge part fits any performance build needing a precise U-turn in 2-inch piping. It supports reliable exhaust flow while resisting corrosion in high-heat environments.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Resists corrosion and handles extreme exhaust temperatures for long-term reliability in performance applications.
- Mandrel Bent Design: Keeps constant 2in diameter and smooth interior surface to promote unrestricted exhaust gas flow without restrictions.
- 16 Gauge Thickness (0.065in): Delivers strength for durability while keeping weight low at 0.70 lbs.
- 2.5in Centerline Radius: Allows tight bends in compact exhaust routing for custom layouts.
- 4in Leg Lengths: Provides straight sections on each side for straightforward connections to other 2in OD tubing.
Product Notes
- Consistent dimensions and material reduce welding preparation time.
- Ideal for high-flow exhaust systems in racing or street performance.
- Packaged to prevent damage during transit.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Weld directly to matching 2in OD stainless tubing using TIG method.
- No clamps or hardware needed beyond welding.
