What material is this exhaust elbow made from?

This elbow is made from SS321 stainless steel. This material is known for its ability to withstand high exhaust temperatures and resist corrosion, making it a popular choice for exhaust systems.

What does '1.5D radius' mean for this bend?

The '1.5D radius' refers to the bend's tightness. It means the center of the bend is 1.5 times the pipe's diameter away from the pipe's centerline. This allows for a more compact turn, which can be helpful in tight engine bays or custom exhaust routing.

Is this elbow a direct fit for my car's exhaust?

This is a fabrication component intended for custom exhaust system building. It is not a direct replacement part for any specific vehicle's factory exhaust system. You will need to weld or otherwise connect it as part of a custom setup.

About this part

Product Details

What you get here is a single 3.5-inch diameter, 45-degree mandrel bend elbow. It's made from SS321 stainless steel, which is a good choice for exhaust components because it holds up well to high temperatures and resists corrosion. The tubing is 16 gauge, or about 0.065 inches thick, giving it a solid feel for fabrication work.

This elbow features a 1.5D radius, meaning the center of the bend is 1.5 times the pipe's diameter away from the pipe's centerline. This tighter radius can be useful when you need to make a turn in a more confined space during custom exhaust builds. Mandrel bending ensures the pipe keeps its round shape through the bend, which helps maintain good exhaust flow compared to crush bends.
