What material is this J-bend made from?

This J-bend is constructed from 16-gauge T304 stainless steel. This material is chosen for its strength and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for exhaust applications.

What does 'mandrel-bent' mean for this tubing?

Mandrel-bent means the tubing is bent using a mandrel inside to support the wall, preventing it from collapsing or kinking. This ensures the inside diameter remains consistent throughout the bend, which is important for exhaust flow.

What is the centerline radius (CLR) of this bend?

The centerline radius for this J-bend is 2.50 inches. This measurement refers to the radius of the bend along its center axis, indicating the tightness of the curve.

Product Details

If you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, you'll need reliable components to get the bends just right. These 180-degree J-bends from Kooks Headers are designed for builders who need precise control over their exhaust routing. They're a key piece for creating custom headers or modifying existing exhaust setups to fit your specific needs.

These J-bends are made from 16-gauge T304 stainless steel, which is known for its strength and resistance to corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust work. The tubing is mandrel-bent, meaning it maintains its diameter through the bend without collapsing, which is crucial for maintaining good exhaust flow. The 2.5-inch centerline radius gives you a smooth, controlled curve to work with when planning your exhaust layout.

Kooks Headers has been in the performance exhaust business for a long time, and they build their fabrication components with that experience in mind. This J-bend is a well-made part that should fit right into your custom exhaust project.
