What is a mandrel bend and why is it important for exhaust tubing?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal mold (mandrel) that supports the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, maintaining its original diameter and shape. For exhaust systems, this consistent diameter is crucial for smooth airflow and preventing restrictions.

What material is this tubing made from?

This tubing is made from stainless steel. Stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components because it offers good resistance to rust and corrosion, and it can handle the high temperatures generated by engine exhaust.

What are the dimensions of this specific bend?

This piece of tubing has an outer diameter of 1.625 inches. It features a 45-degree bend with a centerline radius of 2.4 inches. Both legs of the bend are 6.5 inches long.

About this part

Product Details

Stainless Bros is known for providing a wide range of stainless steel exhaust components, and this mandrel bend tubing is a solid option for custom fabrication projects. This piece features a 1.625-inch outer diameter with a 45-degree bend, offering a 2.4-inch centerline radius. Each leg measures 6.5 inches, giving you ample material to work with when building or repairing exhaust systems.

The tubing is constructed from stainless steel, which helps resist corrosion and withstand the high temperatures found in exhaust applications. Using mandrel bends like this one ensures that the tube's diameter remains consistent throughout the bend, unlike crush bends which can restrict flow. This consistency is important for maintaining optimal exhaust gas velocity and performance in custom setups.
