What does 'mandrel bend' mean for my exhaust?

A mandrel bend uses a solid internal support (the mandrel) during the bending process. This prevents the tubing from collapsing or kinking, ensuring the inside diameter stays consistent throughout the curve for optimal exhaust flow.

What is the difference between 1.5D and 2.82in CLR?

1.5D refers to the bend ratio, meaning the centerline radius is 1.5 times the tube's outer diameter. The 2.82-inch CLR is the actual measurement of that centerline radius, calculated from the 1.88-inch tube diameter (1.88 * 1.5 = 2.82).

What does 'w/o leg' mean for this exhaust bend?

This means the tubing does not have an extended section or 'leg' on either end of the bend. This provides fabricators with more freedom to cut and weld the piece precisely where needed in their custom exhaust system.

About this part

Product Details

If you're building a custom exhaust system or modifying an existing one, having the right bends is crucial for a clean, efficient setup. This 90-degree mandrel bend from Stainless Bros is designed for fabricators who need precise curves without kinks or restrictions.

Made from 16-gauge steel, this tubing features a 1.88-inch outer diameter and a 1.5D (1.5 times the diameter) bend radius, resulting in a 2.82-inch centerline radius. The mandrel bending process ensures the tube maintains its full diameter throughout the curve, which is essential for smooth exhaust flow and preventing backpressure issues. It comes without a leg, giving you flexibility in how you integrate it into your project.
