What makes a 'mandrel bend' different from a regular bend?

A mandrel bend uses a flexible internal support (the mandrel) during the bending process. This prevents the tube from collapsing or kinking, ensuring a smooth, consistent inner diameter throughout the bend. This is important for maintaining optimal exhaust flow.

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

304 stainless steel is a well-known alloy for exhaust components because it offers strong resistance to rust and corrosion. This means your custom exhaust system is more likely to last longer, especially in areas exposed to moisture and road salt.

What does the .065 wall thickness mean for fabrication?

A .065 wall thickness is a common specification for exhaust tubing. It's generally easy to weld and work with for custom fabrication projects, while still providing enough strength to hold up in an exhaust system.

Product Details

This is a 1-3/4 inch, 180-degree mandrel bend from Stainless Works, designed for custom exhaust fabrication. It's made from 304 stainless steel, which is known for its strong resistance to corrosion, making it a solid choice for exhaust systems that need to hold up over time. The bend is CNC mandrel bent, meaning it maintains a smooth, consistent radius without any wrinkles or flat spots, which is crucial for keeping exhaust flow optimized. This helps ensure your engine can breathe freely, which can make a difference in performance.

Each bend comes with legs that are at least 6 inches long, giving you plenty of material to work with when you're cutting and welding your custom exhaust setup. The .065 wall thickness is common for exhaust tubing, offering a good balance between strength and ease of welding. Because it's made from 304 stainless steel and built in the USA, it comes with a lifetime warranty, giving you peace of mind for your project.
