Stainless Bros 2.50in Diameter 1.5D / 3.75in CLR 45 Degree Bend No Leg Mandrel Bend

What you get here is a single piece of Stainless Bros 2.50-inch diameter tubing, bent to a 45-degree angle. This particular bend is a 1.5D radius, meaning the centerline of the bend is 1.5 times the tube's diameter, resulting in a 3.75-inch centerline radius. It's a 'no leg' bend, which means it's just the curved section without any straight sections attached.

This type of mandrel bend is really useful when you're building a custom exhaust system or fabricating any kind of tubing project where you need a smooth, consistent curve. Mandrel bending is important because it keeps the tube from collapsing or kinking during the bending process, ensuring the inside diameter stays consistent throughout the bend. This helps maintain good exhaust flow, which is crucial for performance. The stainless steel construction means it's well-built to resist corrosion, especially important for exhaust components.
