Vibrant 3in O.D. T304 SS 90 deg Mandrel Bend 4in x 12in leg lengths (3in Centerline Radius)
This Vibrant mandrel bend delivers seamless 90-degree turns for custom exhaust systems using 3-inch tubing. Crafted from T304 stainless steel it ensures durable performance in high-flow applications. Ideal for fabricators building efficient exhaust setups on performance vehicles.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel Construction: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and strength for long-lasting exhaust components under extreme heat and pressure
- Mandrel Bent Design: Maintains consistent 3-inch diameter without crimps or reductions for unrestricted exhaust flow and maximum horsepower
- Precise Leg Lengths: 4-inch and 12-inch legs with 3-inch centerline radius fit tight spaces while allowing custom routing around chassis and suspension
- 16 Gauge (0.065in) Wall Thickness: Balances lightweight construction with rigidity to handle boost and high RPM without flexing
- Weld-Ready Finish: Consistent dimensions and mill surface require minimal prep for clean TIG or MIG welds in professional fabrication
Product Notes
- Inspect tubing ends for burrs before welding to ensure proper fit
- Clean with stainless steel polish to maintain finish and prevent surface rust
- Store in dry area to protect from moisture prior to installation
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Use back purging with argon gas for TIG welding to prevent sugar oxidation on interior walls
