Vibrant 3in Oval (Nominal Size) T304 SS 45 deg VERTICAL Mandrel Bend 6in x 6in leg lengths
This mandrel bend from Vibrant Performance delivers smooth radius bends for 3-inch oval exhaust tubing in custom fabrication projects. Ideal for performance vehicles needing low-profile routing under chassis or body lines it maintains full cross-section flow for unrestricted exhaust velocity. Crafted for weld-ready consistency it supports high-flow systems in drag racing street performance and off-road builds.
Key Features
- T304 Stainless Steel: Provides corrosion resistance and heat durability for long-term exhaust performance in harsh conditions
- Mandrel Bent Design: Ensures constant inner diameter through the 45-degree vertical bend eliminating crimps or flow turbulence
- 3in Nominal Oval Size: Fits standard oval tubing for compact clearance in tight engine bay or suspension areas
- 16 Gauge 0.065in Thickness: Balances strength and weight reduction for responsive exhaust systems
- 6in x 6in Leg Lengths: Offers straight sections for precise alignment and secure welding connections
Product Notes
- Consistent dimensional tolerances and material composition reduce fabrication time
- Requires minimal surface preparation before welding
- Ships in protective packaging to prevent dings or bends
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- TIG weld using 304 stainless filler rod for best results
- Align legs straight before tacking to maintain vertical bend angle
