Stainless Bros 2.25in SS321 45 Deg Mandrel Bend Elbow - 1.5D Radius 16GA/.065in Wall (No Leg)

This is a 2.25-inch diameter, 45-degree mandrel bend elbow from Stainless Bros. It's made from SS321 stainless steel, which is known for its good resistance to high temperatures and corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust system fabrication. The 1.5D radius means it has a tighter bend compared to a 3D radius, which can be useful when space is limited in a custom exhaust build. It's a 16-gauge tube with a wall thickness of .065 inches, offering a good balance of strength and weldability for custom exhaust projects.

The mandrel bending process ensures that the tube maintains its diameter throughout the bend, preventing kinks or flat spots that could restrict exhaust flow. This is crucial for performance, as it helps maintain consistent exhaust gas velocity. This particular elbow is a 'no leg' configuration, meaning it doesn't have any straight sections extending from the ends of the bend, making it purely for connecting two angled sections of tubing.
