Vibrant 2in O.D. T304 SS U-Bend (2in Centerline Radius) Universal
This mandrel-bent U-bend from Vibrant Performance delivers precise 180-degree turns for custom exhaust systems on cars trucks and race vehicles. Crafted from consistent 304 stainless steel tubing it fits standard 2in exhaust paths and supports high-flow fabrication. Weld-ready design ensures reliable performance under extreme heat and pressure.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Resists corrosion and handles exhaust temperatures up to 1600F for long-lasting durability in harsh environments
- 2in Outer Diameter: Matches common performance exhaust sizing for seamless integration in turbo downpipes headers and over-axle pipes
- 16 Gauge 0.065in Wall: Provides structural strength while keeping weight low at 1.38 lbs for responsive vehicle handling
- 2in Centerline Radius: Tight bend radius navigates compact engine bays and chassis without flow restriction
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Preserves uniform inner diameter throughout the bend to promote smooth exhaust gas velocity
Product Notes
- Consistent dimensional tolerances reduce fitment issues and grinding before welding
- Clean as-welded surface supports strong TIG or MIG joints with matching filler rod
- Packaged to arrive straight and undamaged for immediate fabrication use
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- TIG weld with 308L filler rod for best results on T304 stainless steel
- Align centerline legs measuring 3.125in from tube end to bend tangent point
