Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 2.25in OD x 3.375in CLR 18 Gauge Wall Thickness
This precision 180 degree mandrel bend from Vibrant Performance uses 321 stainless steel construction with 2.25 inch outer diameter 3.375 inch centerline radius and 18 gauge wall thickness. Designed for custom exhaust systems oil lines and intercooler piping in performance vehicles. Provides smooth unrestricted airflow and long lasting durability under extreme heat and pressure.
Key Features
- 321 Stainless Steel: Titanium stabilized alloy resists corrosion and handles temperatures up to 1600 degrees F ideal for turbo exhaust and oil applications
- Mandrel Bent Design: Maintains consistent inner diameter for maximum flow velocity without turbulence or restrictions
- 2.25in Outer Diameter: Standard size fits common 2.25 inch turbo back exhaust downpipes and oil feed lines
- 3.375in Centerline Radius: Compact U shape bend routes tightly around chassis components and engines
- 18 Gauge Wall 0.047in Thick: Lightweight yet strong enough for high boost pressure and vibration resistance
Product Notes
- Inspect bend radius and alignment before cutting or welding into system
- Degrease surfaces prior to fabrication for clean welds and seals
- Packaged in protective sleeve to arrive undamaged
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- TIG weld ends to matching tubing using 321 filler rod for best results
