What does '1.5D / 3in CLR' mean for this bend?

The '1.5D' refers to the bend radius being 1.5 times the tube diameter. For a 2-inch tube, this results in a 3-inch center line radius (CLR) for the bend. This is a tighter bend than a larger radius, allowing for more compact routing.

Why is a mandrel bend important for exhaust systems?

Mandrel bending uses a solid core (mandrel) inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, maintaining its full internal diameter. This ensures unrestricted exhaust gas flow, which is important for engine performance.

What is the advantage of stainless steel for exhaust tubing?

Stainless steel offers good resistance to rust and corrosion, which are common issues for exhaust components due to heat cycles and exposure to road elements. This helps the tubing last longer in harsh conditions.

About this part

Product Details

Stainless Bros is known for making stainless steel exhaust components. This particular piece is a 2-inch diameter, 90-degree mandrel bend tube with a 1.5D (1.5 times the diameter) radius, meaning the center line of the bend is 3 inches from the end of the tube. It has no legs, making it ideal for custom fabrication where you need to connect two pieces of tubing at a specific angle.

The mandrel bending process ensures that the tube maintains its diameter throughout the bend, which is crucial for smooth exhaust flow. This helps prevent restrictions that can hurt performance. Since it's made of stainless steel, it offers good resistance to corrosion, which is important for exhaust system components that are exposed to heat and moisture.
