What does 'mandrel bend' mean for an exhaust tube?

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible mandrel inside the tubing. This process keeps the tube's diameter from collapsing or kinking during the bend, ensuring a smooth, unrestricted path for exhaust gases.

What is the difference between 1.5D and other bend depths?

The 'D' in 1.5D refers to the diameter of the tubing. So, 1.5D means the centerline radius of the bend is 1.5 times the tube's diameter. A tighter bend would have a smaller D value, while a wider bend would have a larger D value.

What does 'no leg' mean for this bend?

A 'no leg' bend means the tube is cut straight at the ends of the bend, without any extra straight sections (legs) extending from it. This allows for more precise placement and welding into your custom exhaust system.

About this part

Product Details

When you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, having the right bends is key to a clean and efficient layout. This 45-degree mandrel bend from Stainless Bros gives you a smooth, consistent curve for your tubing.

This piece is made from 3-inch diameter steel tubing and features a 1.5D (Deep) bend radius, which translates to a 4.5-inch centerline radius. Mandrel bending means the tube's diameter stays consistent through the bend, preventing kinks and restrictions that can hurt exhaust flow. It has no legs, so you can cut and weld it precisely where you need it in your custom setup.
