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

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal mold (mandrel) that supports the pipe during the bending process. This prevents the pipe from collapsing or kinking, ensuring the internal diameter remains consistent. For exhaust systems, this consistency helps maintain optimal airflow and prevents performance-robbing restrictions.

What material is this exhaust tubing made from?

This exhaust tubing is made from stainless steel. Stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components because it offers good resistance to rust and corrosion, which helps extend the life of your custom exhaust system.

What are the leg lengths on this 90-degree bend?

This 90-degree bend has two legs. One leg measures 5 inches in length, and the other leg measures 8 inches in length. These varying lengths provide flexibility when fitting the bend into your custom exhaust layout.

About this part

Product Details

When you're fabricating a custom exhaust system, having the right bends makes all the difference. This 90-degree mandrel bend from Stainless Bros is designed to help you create smooth transitions in your exhaust piping. Mandrel bending ensures the pipe maintains its diameter through the bend, which helps keep exhaust flow consistent and prevents restrictions that can hurt performance.

This particular piece features a 3-inch outer diameter and a 1.5D (1.5 times the diameter) centerline radius, resulting in a 4.5-inch centerline radius. It has one leg measuring 5 inches and the other at 8 inches, giving you some flexibility in how you integrate it into your system. The tubing itself is made from stainless steel, offering good resistance to corrosion for a longer-lasting exhaust build. It's a well-built component that's ready for welding into your custom setup.
