What is SS321 stainless steel good for in an exhaust system?

SS321 stainless steel is a popular choice for exhaust components because it holds up well to the high temperatures found in exhaust systems. It offers good resistance to oxidation and corrosion at elevated heat levels.

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

A mandrel bend is created using a flexible internal mold (a mandrel) that supports the tube during the bending process. This ensures the tube's diameter remains consistent throughout the curve, preventing kinks and maintaining smooth airflow for better performance.

What is a 1D radius bend?

A 1D radius bend means the center of the bend is located one times the diameter of the tubing away from the outer edge of the tube. This results in a relatively tight curve, which can be useful for fitting exhaust systems into compact areas.

About this part

Product Details

This 45-degree elbow from Stainless Bros is made from SS321 stainless steel, a material known for its good performance at high temperatures, making it a solid choice for exhaust fabrication projects. The tubing measures 1.625 inches in diameter with a wall thickness of 16 gauge, or .065 inches, which offers a good balance of strength and workability for custom exhaust systems.

The bend is a mandrel bend, meaning the tube's diameter stays consistent throughout the curve, which helps maintain smooth exhaust flow without kinks or restrictions. This is important for performance, as it allows exhaust gases to exit the engine more efficiently. The 1D radius means the center of the bend is one times the tube's diameter away from the tube's edge, creating a relatively tight but still smooth curve suitable for tight spaces.
