Vibrant 180 Degree Mandrel Bend 1.625in OD x 2in CLR 304 Stainless Steel Tubing – Universal
This 180-degree mandrel bend from Vibrant delivers a tight radius turn for custom performance exhaust systems. Made from durable 304 stainless steel with 16 gauge wall thickness, it maintains full flow diameter without kinks or restrictions. Perfect for fabricating exhaust on street rods, muscle cars, trucks, and race vehicles needing compact routing.
Key Features
- 304 Stainless Steel: Resists corrosion, withstands exhaust temperatures up to 1600°F, lasts longer than mild steel in harsh conditions
- Mandrel Bent Design: Smooth interior surface preserves cross-sectional area for unrestricted exhaust gas velocity and power gains
- 1.625in OD x 2in CLR: Tight 2-inch centerline radius fits confined spaces while handling 1.625-inch tubing systems precisely
- 16 Gauge Wall (0.065in): Provides structural strength without excess weight, ideal balance for high-performance applications
- Seamless 180 Degree Bend: Consistent diameter from inlet to outlet prevents turbulence, supports high-flow setups
