What is a mandrel bend?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal support (a mandrel) that prevents the tubing from collapsing or kinking during the bending process. This ensures the inside diameter remains consistent throughout the curve, which is crucial for smooth exhaust flow.

What is the centerline radius (CLR)?

The centerline radius refers to the distance from the center of the tube's wall to the center of the bend itself. A 2.62-inch CLR on this 1.75-inch tube indicates a moderately tight bend.

What kind of projects is this tubing typically used for?

This type of stainless steel tubing is commonly used for custom exhaust system fabrication, building headers, or creating other specialized undercar piping where a specific bend is needed.

About this part

Product Details

What you get here is a single piece of Stainless Bros tubing, bent to a 45-degree angle. It's made from stainless steel and measures 1.75 inches in diameter, with a 2.62-inch centerline radius. Each leg of the bend is 6.5 inches long, giving you a good amount of material to work with for custom exhaust projects. The bend itself is a mandrel bend, which means it keeps its shape and diameter throughout the curve, preventing kinks and ensuring smooth flow.

This kind of tubing is what fabricators use when they need to create custom exhaust systems, headers, or other undercar components. The stainless steel construction means it'll hold up well against heat and corrosion, which is important for anything under the car. Having a pre-bent piece like this saves a lot of time and effort compared to trying to bend straight tubing yourself, especially when you need a clean, consistent curve.
