What makes mandrel bends better for exhaust systems?

Mandrel bending uses a solid core (the mandrel) inside the tube during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter. This is crucial for exhaust systems to maintain optimal airflow and prevent restrictions.

Why is 304 stainless steel a good choice for exhaust tubing?

304 stainless steel offers excellent resistance to corrosion and rust, which is important for exhaust components exposed to heat, moisture, and road salt. It's also durable and can withstand the high temperatures typically found in exhaust systems.

What does the .065 wall thickness mean for this tubing?

A .065 inch wall thickness provides a good balance of strength and weight for custom exhaust fabrication. It's robust enough to handle typical exhaust pressures and vibrations without being overly heavy, making it easier to work with and weld.

Product Details

Stainless Works is known for making well-built exhaust components, and this 1-1/2 inch, 45-degree mandrel bend is a prime example. If you're building a custom exhaust system or working on any fabrication project that requires smooth, consistent tubing, this piece is a solid choice. It’s made from 304 stainless steel, which is a good material for resisting rust and corrosion, especially important for exhaust parts that see a lot of heat and moisture.

What makes this bend stand out is that it’s CNC mandrel bent. This process ensures the tube maintains its shape and diameter through the bend, preventing kinks or restrictions that could hurt exhaust flow. The wall thickness is .065 inches, which is strong enough for most exhaust applications without adding unnecessary weight. You get smooth, wrinkle-free bends that make fabrication easier and result in a cleaner-looking finished product.

This bend comes with legs that are at least 6 inches long, giving you plenty of material to work with when connecting it to other pipes. Plus, it’s backed by a lifetime warranty and proudly made in the USA, so you can be confident in its durability.
