Vibrant 321 Stainless Steel 90 Degree Mandrel Bend 3.00in OD x 4.50in CLR - 16 Gauge Wall Thickness
This Vibrant Performance mandrel bend delivers a precise 90-degree turn for custom exhaust fabrication on performance vehicles and race cars. Measuring 3.00 inches OD with a 4.50 inch centerline radius and 16 gauge wall thickness it maintains constant pipe diameter for unrestricted exhaust flow. Built from 321 stainless steel it handles high temperatures and resists corrosion in demanding applications.
Key Features
- 321 Stainless Steel Material: Offers excellent corrosion resistance and withstands exhaust temperatures over 1500 degrees F for long-lasting durability in performance builds.
- Mandrel Bent Construction: Provides a smooth continuous radius without crimps or reductions ensuring maximum airflow and horsepower gains.
- 4.50 Inch Centerline Radius: Allows tight turns in compact exhaust routing while preserving pipe shape and velocity.
- 3.00 Inch Outside Diameter: Matches standard 3 inch exhaust systems for seamless integration in turbo downpipes headers and full exhaust kits.
- 16 Gauge Wall Thickness: Delivers strength at 0.065 inches thick while keeping weight low for responsive vehicle handling.
