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

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible mandrel inside the tubing during the bending process. This prevents the tubing from collapsing or kinking, maintaining its full diameter. For exhaust systems, this ensures unrestricted airflow and helps maintain consistent exhaust tone.

What does '1.5D' and '3.375in CLR' mean for this bend?

The '1.5D' refers to the bend radius being 1.5 times the diameter of the tubing. With a 2.25-inch diameter, this results in a centerline radius (CLR) of 3.375 inches. This measurement indicates how tightly the tube is bent.

What material is this tubing made from?

This tubing is made from stainless steel, which is known for its resistance to rust and corrosion. This makes it a durable choice for exhaust components that are exposed to various weather conditions and exhaust gases.

About this part

Product Details

Stainless Bros is known for providing a wide range of exhaust components and fabrication supplies. This particular piece is a 2.25-inch diameter mandrel bend, featuring a 45-degree angle and a 1.5D (1.5 times the diameter) bend radius, resulting in a 3.375-inch centerline radius. It has two equal 6.5-inch legs, making it a versatile option for custom exhaust systems.

The mandrel bending process ensures that the tubing maintains its diameter throughout the bend, which is crucial for smooth exhaust flow and preventing restrictions. This is important for performance and sound. The stainless steel construction offers good resistance to corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust work where durability is key. This bend is ready for cutting and welding into your custom exhaust project.
